Claim 8:
9. A method for controlling a robot including a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor, the method comprising:
acquiring, based on a sensing value of the LiDAR sensor, a first map that covers a space where the robot is located;
detecting one or more obstacles existing in the space based on the sensing value of the LiDAR sensor;
acquiring 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;
determining 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
acquiring a second map indicating the obstacle area on the first map to determine a driving route of the robot based on the second map.
