1. An autonomous robot, comprising:
- a main body coupled to at least one wheel;
a motor configured to move the main body within a region by rotating the at least one wheel;
a battery configured to supply power to the motor; and
a controller configured to;
control the motor such that the main body travels along a wall defining the region, anddetermine when a movement path of the main body forms a closed loop within a prescribed portion of the region,wherein the controller, when determining that the movement path of the main body has formed the closed loop within the prescribed portion of the region, is further configured to control the motor such that the main body stops travelling along the wall and the main body moves out of the prescribed portion of the region.

Abstract
A autonomous robot includes a main body, a driving unit to move the main body within an operation region, a battery to supply power to the driving unit, and a controller to control the driving unit in a manner that the main body travels along a wall of the operation region to move to a charging stand when a remaining power level of the battery drops below a reference power level, wherein the controller controls the driving unit in a manner that the main body escape from one region corresponding to a closed curve when a movement path of the main body forms the closed curve while the driving unit performs wall following.

11. An autonomous robot, comprising:
-
a main body coupled to at least one wheel; a motor configured to move the main body within a region by rotating the at least one wheel; a battery configured to supply power to the motor; and a controller configured to; control the motor to move the autonomous robot toward a charging stand when a remaining power level of the battery drops below a reference power level, and determine when a movement path of the main body forms a closed loop within a prescribed portion of the region while the motor moves the autonomous robot toward the charging stand, wherein the controller, when the movement path of the main body has formed the closed loop within the prescribed portion of the region, is further configured to control the motor to move the main body out of the prescribed portion of the region. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
