Claim 14:
15. A method for controlling a mobile robot, the method comprising:
rotating a main body of the mobile robot such that another mobile robot is sensed within a detection area encompassing a predetermined projected angle with respect to the front of the main body;
transmitting to the other mobile robot a control signal configured for causing linear travel of the other mobile robot by a predetermined distance when the other mobile robot is located within the detection area resulting from the rotation of the main body;
determining a direction that the other mobile robot faces based on a direction that the other mobile robot travels in a linear direction;
determining a relative position of the other mobile robot and a direction that the other mobile robot faces, based on the linear travel of the other mobile robot for the predetermined distance; and
transmitting to the other mobile robot a control signal for moving the other mobile robot to a specific point within the detection area, based on the relative position of the other mobile robot and the direction that the other mobile robot faces.
