Abstract: Disclosed are a robot cleaner and a method for controlling the same. A plurality of images are detected through an image detecting unit such as an upper camera, and two or more feature points are extracted from the plurality of images. Then, a feature point set consisting of the feature points is created, and the feature points included in the feature point set are matched with each other. This may allow the robot cleaner to precisely recognize a position thereof. Furthermore, this may allow the robot cleaner to perform a cleaning operation or a running operation by interworking a precisely recognized position with a map.

Abstract: Robots and methods implemented therein implement an active repurposing of temporal-spatial information. A robot can be configured to analyze the information to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the primary service function that generated the information originally. A robot can be configured to use the information to create a three dimensional (3D) model of the facility, which can be used for a number of functions such as creating virtual tours of the environment, or porting the environment into video games. A robot can be configured to use the information to recognize and classify objects in the facility so that the ensuing catalog can be used to locate selected objects later, or to provide a global catalog of all items, such as is needed for insurance documentation of facility effects.
