Disclosed is apparatus for distinguishing between ground and an obstacle for autonomous mobile vehicle, comprising an upper 2D laser radar 1, a lower 2D laser radar 2, and a processing unit 10, the processing unit 10 comprising a distance data receiving part 11, an inclination calculating part 12, a ground and obstacle determining part 13, and a transmitting part. Also disclosed is a method for distinguishing between ground and an obstacle for autonomous mobile vehicle by using the apparatus for distinguishing between ground and an obstacle for autonomous mobile vehicle of claim 1, in which the detected object is determined as an obstacle when the actual inclination (g) of the detected object is larger than the reference inclination, and as ground when the actual inclination (g) of the detected object is smaller than the reference inclination.
