1. A robot comprising:
a body configured to include a moving means;
a head that is disposed on the body and includes a plurality of sensors, the plurality of sensors comprising a camera sensor; and
a processor configured to:
perform authentication for a user using an image obtained through the camera sensor, the obtained image including the user;
identify at least one sensor among the plurality of sensors based on health-related information to be obtained from the user, among a plurality of pieces of health-related information;
identify a motion angle of the head to obtain the health-related information of the user based on at least one of a location of the at least one sensor on the head, a type of the at least one sensor, or a posture of the user included in the image;
rotate, based on the identified motion angle, the head to adjust a posture of the head at an angle suitable for the at least one sensor to obtain the health-related information;
identify a distance information to obtain the health-related information of the user based on the type of the at least one sensor;
control the moving means so that the robot accesses the user based on the identified distance information; and
