This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20250060757 titled 'ROBOT AND METHOD FOR CALCULATING DISTANCE TO OBJECT
Original Abstract Submitted
a robot includes a 2d camera, a 1d distance sensor, a driving module configured to move the robot, and at least one processor. the at least one processor is configured to: obtain a 2d image by controlling the 2d camera; calculate relative depths of actual regions indicated by pixels in the 2d image, based on the obtained 2d image; obtain a reference distance to a point to which a laser output from the 1d distance sensor is irradiated; determine a distance from the robot to the object in the 2d image based on the obtained reference distance and a relative depth of a reference point corresponding to the point to which the laser is irradiated among the pixels in the 2d image; and travel based on the determined distance to the object.
