Abstract
Disclosed are a robot travel control system and robot control method. The robot travel control system according to the present disclosure comprises: a plurality of robots that travel in a predetermined space on a map; and a server that communicates with the plurality of robots and determines the level of congestion in a designated zone requiring traffic control in the predetermined space on the map. In addition, the server: registers at least one designated zone as a detour node on the basis of the determined level of congestion; detects a robot having the registered detour node in the movement path and entering within a certain range of the detour node; and generates and provides a detour path of the detected robot in consideration of the respective movement paths of the other robots present around the detour node. Accordingly, the occurrence of congestion areas can be minimized by identifying the level of congestion in a space in advance and providing detour paths so that the robots do not crowd a specific section. Consequently, it is possible for the robots to complete tasks without delay.
