Abstract

An apparatus for calling a mobile robot (200) includes a generator (101,102) installed at a remote controller (100), and generating an RF signal and infrared signal for calling a mobile robot (200) when a call signal is inputted by a user; and a controller (202) installed at the mobile robot (200), calculating a direction of the remote controller (100) based on a position of an infrared ray receiver that receives the infrared signal when an RF signal is received, rotating the mobile robot (200) in the calculated direction, and then making the mobile robot (200) to go straight ahead. When a user calls the mobile robot (200) from a specific place, the mobile robot (200) can move by itself to the specific space, thereby enhancing users' convenience.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to mobile robots, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for calling a mobile robot. Background technique [0002] In general, a mobile robot is an apparatus for automatically cleaning an area that sucks foreign substances such as dust from the floor while moving by itself in a room of a house (eg, a living room, etc.) without manipulation by a user. [0003] In cleaning, the robot cleaner recognizes the distance between itself and obstacles such as furniture, office supplies or walls in the cleaning area through distance sensors, and selectively controls the motor for turning its left wheel and the motor for turning its left wheel according to the recognized distance. A motor that turns its right wheel, thereby changing its direction and sweeping the cleaning area automatically. Here, the robot cleaner performs a cleaning operation while traveling in a cleaning area through map information stored in an interna...
