The present invention relates to a robot cleaner, a control system of a robot cleaner and a control method of a robot cleaner, and the invention includes a robot cleaner that stores a map including information on a drivable area of a cleaning area and drives in the cleaning area and a terminal that inputs a cleaning command to the robot cleaner, the terminal setting a virtual designated area on the map in response to a user input, the robot cleaner moving to the designated area and driving within the designated area when the designated area is set from the terminal, and thus, the invention has the effect of intensively cleaning the designated area arbitrarily designated by a user.

Embodiments monitor items corresponding to a vehicle. Embodiments determine a maximum speed of the vehicle. Embodiments determine a last known first geo-location of a first item, the first geo-location including a first location and corresponding first time and determines a last known second geo-location of a second item, the second geo-location including a second location and corresponding second time. Embodiments determine a reachability radius including a difference between the second time and the first time and multiplying the difference by the maximum speed. Embodiments determine a distance between the first location and the second location and when the distance is greater than the reachability radius, determine that the first item is detached from the second item.
