First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for controlling a robot comprising:
- a main body;
wheels provided at least opposite sides of the main body and configured to move the main body;
an actuator configured to generate torque to rotate the wheels; and
an auxiliary wheel provided in front or rear of the main body, the method comprising;
detecting whether the main body moves when the wheels rotates;
increasing the torque of the actuator until the detector detects a movement of the main body; and
performing an auxiliary movement which pushes the auxiliary wheel toward a floor when the torque of the actuator is increased to a maximum and the a movement of the main body is not detected.

Abstract
A wheeled moving robot including a main body; wheels provided at least at opposite sides of the main body and configured to move the main body; an actuator configured to generate torque which rotates the wheels; a detector configured to detect whether the main body moves when the wheels rotates by the actuator; and a compensation unit configured to perform an auxiliary movement which pushes an auxiliary wheel in front or rear of the main body toward a floor based as a detection result of the detector.

5. A wheeled moving robot comprising:
-
a main body; wheels provided at least opposite sides of the main body and configured to move the main body; an actuator configured to generate torque to rotate the wheels; a detector configured to detect whether the main body moves when the wheels rotates by the actuator; a compensation unit configured to perform an auxiliary movement which pushes an auxiliary wheel in front or rear of the main body toward-s a floor based on detection result of the detector; and a controller configured to control the torque of the actuator and the auxiliary movement of the compensation unit according to the detection result of the detector; wherein the controller is configured to increase the torque of the actuator until the detector detects a movement of the main body; and wherein the controller is configured to perform the auxiliary movement of the compensation unit, when the controller increases the torque of the actuator to a maximum and the detector fails to detect a movement of the main body. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
