AUTOMATIC MOVING APPARATUS AND MANUAL OPERATION METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. An automatic moving apparatus comprising:
- a storage unit configured to store a traveling method;
an image detection unit configured to acquire a captured image;
a driving unit having one or more wheels and driving the wheels according to a driving signal; and
a control unit configured to extract a traveling direction from the traveling method stored in the storage unit in a first mode, extract a traveling direction indicated by a sensing target from the captured image acquired by the image detection unit in a second mode, and generate a driving signal for moving the automatic moving apparatus in the extracted traveling direction.
