Patent ID: 11878417
Assignee: LG ELECTRONICS INC.
Field: Handling (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 9:
10. A robot comprising:
a driving wheel;
a joint;
sensors collecting data;
a communication circuit configured to transmit data collected by one or more of the sensors to a server; and
a processor configured to control at least one of the driving wheel or the joint,
wherein the processor is further configured to:
obtain image data by using at least one of the sensors,
control the communication circuit to transmit the image data to the server to predict deterioration of communication performance between the server and the robot,
receive future control data through the communication circuit, and
decelerate an operation of the robot or reduce an operation range of the robot in response to receiving the future control data, which is transmitted by the server when the server predicts deterioration of communication performance between the server and the robot at a prescribed time point based on a number of identified objects in the image data,

wherein the processor is further configured to:
predict, based on the number of identified objects in the image data, that the communication performance between the robot and the server will deteriorate at the prescribed time point, and
generate control data so that the at least one of the operation of the robot is decelerated or the operation reduced at the prescribed time point, and

wherein when the number of identified objects in the image data is greater than a preset number, the processor predicts that the communication performance deterioration will occur at the prescribed time point.
