Abstract
Disclosed is a cleaning robot including: a driving unit configured to move the cleaning robot; an obstacle sensor configured to sense an obstacle; and a controller configured to reduce, if a distance between the cleaning robot and the obstacle is shorter than or equal to a reference distance, a driving speed of the cleaning robot so that the driving speed of the cleaning robot is lower than a shock absorbing speed when the cleaning robot contacts the obstacle.

11. A cleaning robot comprising:
-
a main body having at least one surface formed to be flat; a driving unit configured to move the main body; a contact sensor configured to sense a contact of the main body to an obstacle; and a controller configured to control, if a contact of the main body to the obstacle is sensed, movement of the main body so that the flat surface of the main body is aligned to an outline of the obstacle. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

24. A control method of a cleaning robot, comprising:
-
driving the cleaning robot; reducing a driving speed of the cleaning robot so that the cleaning robot contacts an obstacle, if a distance between the cleaning robot and the obstacle is shorter than or equal to a reference distance; and if a contact of the cleaning robot to the obstacle is sensed, moving the cleaning robot so that a front outline of the cleaning robot is aligned to an outline of the obstacle. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26, 27, 28)
