1. A robot comprising:
a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor;
a memory configured to store at least one instruction; and
at least one processor configured to execute the at least one instruction to:
acquire, based on a sensing value of the LiDAR sensor, a first map that covers a space where the robot is located,
detect one or more obstacles existing in the space based on the sensing value of the LiDAR sensor,
acquire a number of times that each of a plurality of areas in the first map is occupied by the one or more obstacles, based on location information of the one or more obstacles,
determine an obstacle area based on the number of times that each of the plurality of areas is occupied by the one or more obstacles, and
acquire a second map indicating the obstacle area on the first map to determine a driving route of the robot based on the second map.
