Problems solved by technology

However, in this method, the mobile robot only performs its cleaning operation in one predetermined direction without considering the shape of the entire area, which is not only inefficient but also takes a long time for the mobile robot to clean the entire area
As a result, this method does not meet the needs of users

Description

[0001] This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application No. 10-2008-0003556 filed with the Korean Intellectual Property Office on January 11, 2008, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0002] The present invention relates to a mobile robot, and more particularly, to a method and apparatus for planning a path of a mobile robot, wherein a rough map of the entire area cleaned by the mobile robot is divided into a plurality of sub-areas so that the mobile robot can base on each Each sub-area cleans the entire area. Background technique [0003] Robots for industrial use have been developed and used in factory automation. Robots are also used instead of humans to perform tasks in extreme environments that humans cannot reach. In particular, home robots play an important role in developing robotics centered on heavy industry, which is limited by the development of industrial robots, to robotics centered on l...
