Self-moving robot capable of correcting movement errors and method for correcting movement errors of the same
First Claim
1. A self-moving robot capable of correcting movement errors, comprising:
- a plurality of drive wheels;
a motor for rotating each of the drive wheels;
a drive wheel rotation detector for detecting the amount of rotation of each of the drive wheels;
a rotation detection unit for detecting rotation of the self-moving robot; and
a controller for determining, through the rotation detection unit, whether or not the self-moving robot has deviated from a movement path and controlling the drive wheels according to the determination to correct movement of the self-moving robot for the deviation from the movement path.

Abstract
A self-moving robot capable of correcting movement errors is provided. The self-moving robot includes a plurality of drive wheels, motors for rotating the drive wheels, drive wheel rotation detectors for detecting the amount of rotation of the drive wheels, a rotation detection unit for detecting rotation of the self-moving robot, and a controller for determining, through the rotation detection unit, whether or not the self-moving robot has deviated from a movement path and controlling the drive wheels according to the determination to correct movement of the self-moving robot for the deviation from the movement path. The self-moving robot can move along the movement path without deviation by automatically correcting the deviation that may occur during movement.

-
a plurality of drive wheels;
a drive wheel rotation detector for detecting the amount of rotation of each of the drive wheels;
a rotation detection unit for detecting rotation of the self-moving robot; and
a controller for comparing an output value of the drive wheel rotation detector and an output value of the rotation detection unit to determine whether or not the self-moving robot has deviated from a movement path and controlling the drive wheels to correct movement of the self-moving robot for the deviation from the movement path when the self-moving robot has deviated from the movement path. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for correcting movement errors of a self-moving robot, the method comprising the steps of:
-
a) controlling a motor to move the self-moving robot;
b) determining whether or not the self-moving robot has deviated from a movement path; and
c) controlling the motor to correct movement of the self-moving robot for the deviation from the movement path if it is determined that the self-moving robot has deviated from the movement path. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
