a robot which receives a final operation signal computed by a mobile terminal and includes one or more driving machines operated according to the received final operation signal; and

the mobile terminal which receives a status signal of the robot and controls the robot by generating the final operation signal for directly driving the one or more driving machines included in the robot.

2. The robot control system according to claim 1, wherein the mobile terminal includes:

a communication unit which communicates with the robot through a wired or wireless network;

a sensing unit which senses the status of the robot;

a computation unit which generates the final operation signal for driving the robot through an algorithm for the robot according to the status signal of the robot received through the communication unit or the sensing unit; and

a controller which directly drives the one or more driving machines included in the robot by transmitting the final operation signal received from the computation unit to the robot through the communication unit.

3. The robot control system according to claim 2, wherein the sensing unit includes one or more of a gyro sensor, an accelerometric sensor, a geomagnetic sensor, a touch sensor, a proximity sensor, and a camera sensor.

4. The robot control system according to claim 1, wherein the mobile terminal generates the final operation signal for directly driving the one or more driving machines included in the robot through the algorithm for the robot using structural definition specifications of the robot stored therein or structural definition specifications of the robot received from the robot.

5. The robot control system according to claim 1, wherein the robot is constituted by a plurality of robots, and the mobile terminal controls each of the plurality of robots by generating a final operation signal for driving a driving machine of each of the robots.

6. The robot control system according to claim 1, wherein the mobile terminal is constituted by a plurality of mobile terminals, and the robot receives the final operation signal from each of the mobile terminals so as to operate the one or more driving machines.

7. The robot control system according to claim 1, wherein the mobile terminal includes:

a first mobile terminal for directly driving the one or more driving machines included in the robot through the final operation signal; and

a second mobile terminal for transmitting a control command to control the first mobile terminal.

8. A robot control method comprising:
