Abstract: In a mobile robot and a control method therefor according to the present disclosure, a plurality of mobile robots located in an area confirm the positions of other mobile robots and operate in cooperation with each other to cooperatively clean then area. One mobile robot moves to follow the position of another mobile robot, so that the mobile robots with different cleaning types cooperate to clean the area. Accordingly, the plurality of mobile robots can cooperatively perform cleaning without colliding within one area, and by combining or changing a plurality of position detection methods as needed, the position of another mobile robot can be easily calculated and the cleaning efficiency is greatly improved.
