Abstract: A mobile robot and a method of controlling the same of the present invention includes a controller configured to set a virtual boundary based on position information calculated by a terminal or a position sensor in an area, and to set an area of any one side of the boundary as a traveling area, in which the controller controls the traveling unit so that the main body moves within the traveling area without moving outside the boundary. Accordingly, the controller may easily set the boundary using the position information, and may control traveling of the mobile robot by setting the traveling area formed by the boundary. Further, the controller may correct a position error, may reflect information on obstacles in setting the traveling area to set a traveling area appropriate for a traveling environment of the mobile robot, and may easily change the set traveling 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.
