1. A robot comprising:
- a body;
a driving unit to drive the body such that the body travels within an operation region; and
a controller to generate map information corresponding to an operation region, the controller setting first information corresponding to at least one reference line using coordinate information corresponding to vertices included in a polygon forming the operation region, and the controller, using the first information, setting second information corresponding to a plurality of regions such that the operation region is divided into the plurality of regions,wherein the controller, using the second information, controls the driving unit such that the body travels according to a preset movement pattern for each of the plurality of divided regions.

13. A method for controlling a robot, the method comprising:
-
generating, by a controller, map information corresponding to an operation region for the robot; setting, by the controller, first information corresponding to at least one reference line using coordinate information corresponding to vertices included in a polygon forming the operation region; setting, by the controller, using the first information, second information corresponding to a plurality of regions such that the operation region is divided into the plurality of regions; and driving a driving unit unit, using the second information, to move the robot according to a preset movement pattern for each of the plurality of divided regions, the driving unit being controlled by the controller. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method for controlling a robot lawn mower, comprising:
-
generating, by a controller, map information corresponding to an operation region for the robot lawn mower to perform a cutting operation; setting, by the controller, information related to a plurality of regions located within the operation region using the map information such that the operation region is divided into the plurality of regions; moving, via a drive unit controlled by the controller, the robot lawn mower according to a preset movement pattern for the plurality of divided regions; and returning the robot lawn mower to a charging device when the cutting operation in the operation region is determined by the controller to be completed.
