Robot cleaner and control method thereof
First Claim
1. A robot cleaner comprising:
- a main body;
a traveling unit moving the main body; and
a controller controlling the traveling unit such that the robot cleaner travels from a first straight path to a first rotation path having a first rotation direction, from the first rotation path to a second straight path intersecting the first straight path, from the second straight path to a second rotation path having a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction of the first rotation path, and from the second rotation path to a third straight path intersecting the second straight path.

Abstract
A control method of a robot cleaner for traveling to clean includes checking information about a predetermined traveling pattern; determining a traveling trajectory based on a traveling speed; generating a traveling pattern based on the determined traveling trajectory and the information about the predetermined traveling pattern, wherein the traveling pattern includes a first straight path, a first rotation path connected to the first straight path and for rotation in a first direction, a second straight path connected to the first rotation path, and a second rotation path connected to the second straight path and for rotation in a second direction; and repeatedly traveling along the generated traveling pattern at regular intervals. Therefore, since the robot cleaner performs cleaning without scattering dust, the efficiency of cleaning may be improved.
