    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a movable object and a method for controlling the same. A method for controlling a movable object may include acquiring virtual data representing distances between each of a plurality of positions within an area and surfaces in the area, in a plurality of directions, respectively, based on a map of the area. An algorithm, such as a machine learning algorithm, may be executed that outputs positions corresponding to the virtual data. Actual distance data between the movable object and a plurality of surfaces in the vicinity of the movable object may be acquired. An actual position of the movable object may then be estimated corresponding to the actual distance data by executing the algorithm using the actual distance data. The movable object may be controlled based on the estimated actual position.

    Abstract: A method for estimating a location of a device uses a color image and a depth image. The method includes matching the color image to the depth image, generating a 3D reference image based on the matching, generating a 3D object image based on the matching, extracting a 2D reference feature point from the reference image, extracting a 2D reference feature point from the object image, matching the extracted reference feature point from the reference image to the extracted reference feature point from the object image, extracting a 3D feature point from the object image using the matched 2D reference feature point, and estimating the location of the device based on the extracted 3D feature point.

    Abstract: A mobile robot and method for controlling the same are provided creating patches in images captured by a camera while the mobile robot is moving, estimating motion blur of the patches, and correcting the position of the mobile robot based on the patch from which the motion blur is eliminated, thereby increasing precision in tracking and reliability through accurate mapping. The mobile robot includes a main body, a traveler to move the main body, a camera combined with the main body to capture an image of a surrounding of the main body, a position detector to create a patch in the image captured by the camera, estimate a motion blur of the patch, and track a position of the main body based on the created patch from which the motion blur is eliminated, and a controller to control the traveler based on the position of the main body.
