1. A autonomous robot, comprising:
- a driving unit configured to move the autonomous robot; and
a control unit comprising a region setting module configured to set a designated region within a cleaning region according to a designated region setting command inputted by a user, and configured to perform a cleaning operation with respect to the designated region according to a cleaning command, the designated region setting command being transmitted from a terminal device that is separated from the autonomous robot,wherein the designated region is formed based on a running path of the autonomous robot, the running path being generated based on sequential changing moving directions of the running autonomous robot according to a user input.

Abstract
Disclosed are a robot cleaner, a controlling method of the same, and a robot cleaning system. The robot cleaner can perform a cleaning operation with respect to only a user'"'"'s desired region, in a repeated and concentrated manner. Further, as the robot cleaner runs on a user'"'"'s desired region in a manual manner, a designated region can be precisely set. Further, as the robot cleaner performs a cleaning operation by setting a user'"'"'s desired region, only a simple configuration is added to a terminal device such as a remote control unit. Accordingly, additional costs can be reduced, and a malfunction can be prevented.
