Abstract: A moving apparatus for cleaning includes: a cleaner configured to perform cleaning; a traveler configured to move the moving apparatus; a sensor including a transmitter configured to transmit a radio frequency (RF) signal toward a front floor, and a receiver configured to receive a reflection signal of the RF signal; and a processor configured to control the traveler to make the moving apparatus travel corresponding to a result of determining that an obstacle is present in the front floor based on a signal pattern detected from the received reflection signal. Thus, the cleaning robot is provided with a radar sensing function using the RF signal, and thus improved in accuracy of detecting an obstacle without being affected by surrounding color, light disturbance and the like environment.
