9. A control method of a robot, the method comprising:
obtaining a first depth image that comprises first depth information by using a depth camera comprised in the robot, and obtaining second depth information corresponding to a first area of the first depth image by using a LiDAR sensor comprised in the robot;
obtaining a depth difference between the second depth information and the first depth information comprised in the first area;
identifying, based on the depth difference being greater than a threshold value, a correction target area in a surrounding area of the first area;
obtaining information on a filter for correcting the first depth information based on the depth difference;
obtaining a second depth image by correcting the first depth information that corresponds to the correction target area based on the first depth information, the second depth information, and the information on the filter; and
generating a driving route of the robot based on the second depth image.
