1. A moving robot comprising:
a connection unit configured to detachably mount one of a plurality of task modules and electrically connectable to the one of the plurality of task modules when the one of the plurality of task modules is mounted;
a frame unit supporting the connection unit and configured to be movable;
a drive unit configured to move the frame unit; and
a control unit to which a plurality of different driving modes corresponding to at least some of the plurality of task modules is input in advance and which controls the drive unit so that the moving robot is autonomously driven based on the plurality of driving modes,
wherein the connection unit includes a connection body to which the one of the plurality of task modules is detachably mounted,
wherein the connection body is configured to support the one of the plurality of task modules,
wherein the connection body includes a plurality of engagement recesses having different shapes and engaged with the one of the plurality of task modules so that a relative position of the one of the plurality of task modules with respect to the moving robot is maintained,
wherein each of the plurality of task modules has a fixture to be engaged with each of the plurality of engagement recesses so that a relative position of the plurality of task modules with respect to the moving robot is maintained,
wherein the fixture has a shape corresponding to one of the plurality of engagement recesses to engage with the one of the plurality of engagement recesses,
wherein when another one of the plurality of task modules different from the one of the plurality of task modules is mounted on the connection body, the fixture of the another on of the plurality of task modules is engaged with another one of the plurality of engagement recesses.
