1. A method of controlling a mobile robot system, the method comprising:
- at a mobile robot, transmitting a signal while traveling in a traveling region;
monitoring the signal transmitted from the mobile robot and determining a distance between the beacon and the mobile robot by the beacon;
at the beacon, transmitting a guide signal to the mobile robot if the mobile robot has approached the beacon within a predetermined distance; and
at the mobile robot, performing navigation changed on a basis of the guide signal, wherein the performing navigation changed on the basis of the guide signal includes guiding the mobile robot to cross a confinement border of the traveling region and to move to another region.

Abstract
A method of controlling a mobile robot system is provided. The method includes at a mobile robot, transmitting a signal while traveling in a traveling region, at a beacon, receiving the signal transmitted from the mobile robot over 360 degrees and determining whether the mobile robot has approached the beacon, at the beacon, transmitting a response signal to the mobile robot if the mobile robot has approached the beacon, and at the mobile robot, performing avoidance navigation to prevent collision with the beacon when the mobile robot receives the response signal of the beacon.

5. A method of controlling a mobile robot system, the method comprising:
-
at a mobile robot, transmitting a signal when cleaning of a traveling region is completed; determining whether the signal transmitted from the mobile robot is sensed within a restricted Field-of-View (FOV) of a beacon or as an approach signal; at the beacon, transmitting a guide signal to the mobile robot if the signal transmitted from the mobile robot is sensed within the restricted FOV; and performing movement navigation on a basis of the guide signal, wherein the performing of movement navigation on the basis of the guide signal includes guiding the mobile robot to cross a confinement border of the traveling region and to move to another region. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7)
