Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a moving robot, a control method thereof, and a moving robot system. A moving robot according to the present disclosure includes: a traveling unit to move a main body; a communication unit to perform communication with a terminal and a location information transmitter installed in an arbitrary area to transmit a signal; and a control unit to set a travel area for a boundary when the boundary is set with respect to location information based on a signal received from the location information transmitter. The control unit recognizes a location of the terminal and, when location information regarding a target point within the boundary, pointed by the terminal at the recognized location, is received, stores the location information. Also, the control unit controls a traveling unit to move, avoiding a predetermined area including coordinates matching the stored location information while moving in the travel area.

Abstract: A mobile robot and a method of controlling the same of the present invention includes: a plurality of position information transmitters installed in an area to transmit signals for calculating position information; a terminal configured to analyze the signals received from the position information transmitters; and a mobile robot configured to receive the signals from the position information transmitters to calculate the position information, and to set a virtual boundary in the area based on the position information, wherein the terminal evaluates an installation position of the position information transmitters by analyzing the signals received from the position information transmitters. Accordingly, even when a work area is reduced or enlarged, a position information transmitter may be further provided, such that a boundary may be reset easily for an enlarged area. Further, by evaluating an installation position for the position information transmitter in an area, a position that facilitates signal transmission and reception may be determined for installation, thereby preventing a problem that an obstacle interrupts signal reception, and position information may be confirmed easily, thereby improving accuracy of positions.
