ROBOT CLEANER AND CONTROL METHOD THEREOF
First Claim
1. A control method of a robot cleaner comprising:
- setting a territory about which cleaning will be performed based on position data acquired during traveling about a cleaning area;
predetermining, by a processor, a cleaning path to clean the set territory; and
increasing an angular velocity of the robot cleaner while maintaining a linear velocity of the robot cleaner above zero in order to change the traveling direction of the robot cleaner along the predetermined cleaning path.

Abstract
A robot cleaner which does not stop to change a traveling direction thereof, and a control method thereof includes setting a territory about which cleaning will be performed based on position data acquired during traveling about a cleaning area, predetermining a cleaning path to clean the territory about which cleaning will be performed, and if the cleaning path includes a zigzag traveling path, changing the traveling direction of the robot cleaner by executing curved traveling of the robot cleaner during traveling along the zigzag traveling path, thus decreasing the time required to clean an area during a change of the traveling direction of the robot cleaner.
