First Claim
1. A moving robot comprising:
- a travel unit configured to move a body;
an image acquisition unit configured to acquire a surrounding image of the body;
a sensor unit having one or more sensors configured to detect an obstacle while the body moves;
a controller configured to;
upon detection of an obstacle by the sensor unit, recognize an attribute of the obstacle based on an image acquired by the image acquisition unit, and control driving of the travel unit based on the recognized attribute of the obstacle; and
