Abstract
An autonomous robot and a positioning method thereof are disclosed. The autonomous robot includes an environment information detection device, a map construction module, a setting module, a path planning module, and a driving module. The environment information detection device is for detecting environment information about an environment where the autonomous robot is situated. An environment map is constructed based on the environment information detected by the environment information detection device. The setting module is used for setting a working boundary on the environment map. The path planning module is for planning a moving path in a working zone and is electrically connected to the setting module. The driving module for driving the autonomous robot to move along the moving path is electrically connected to the path planning module.
