memory. The robot cleaner performs a basic cleaning operation to clean
areas while moving in the areas in accordance with a predetermined
movement procedure. Subsequently, the robot cleaner performs an uncleaned

Thereafter, the robot cleaner performs an edge cleaning operation to
clean the edge of an obstacle based on the map information.
