a controller configured to set a virtual first line along the obstacle and control the speed at which the door is opened, based on at least one of the first line or the speed,
wherein the controller applies torque in a direction opposite to a direction where the door is opened to control the speed at which the door is opened, when the speed is greater than a reference speed.
