Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A robot is disclosed. The robot comprises: a body unit; at least one sensor provided in the body unit; a first wheel and a second wheel that are rotatable, and are provided on respective opposing sides of the body unit; a first driving unit that rotates the first wheel and the second wheel with respect to a first rotational axis; a second driving unit that eccentrically rotates the first wheel and the second wheel with respect to a second rotational axis; and at least one processor that controls the first driving unit and the second driving unit by rotating the first wheel and the second wheel such that the robot travels along a path, identifies an obstacle to be climbed over on the traveling path on the basis of sensing data acquired by means of the at least one sensor, and, when the obstacle is identified, so that the rotation of the first wheel and the second wheel becomes eccentric with respect to the second rotational axis, shifts the first wheel and the second wheel from a first location to a second location relative to the body unit by controlling the second driving unit to increase the wheelbase of the robot.
