Abstract

A robotic lawnmower system comprises a robotic lawnmower (100) and a signal generator (240) to which a cable (250, 260) is to be connected, the signal generator (240) being configured to transmit a signal (245) through the cable (250, 260). The robotic lawnmower (100) comprises: a sensor (170) configured to pick up magnetic fields generated by the signal (245) in the cable (250, 260) thereby receiving the signal (245) being transmitted and a controller (110). The controller (110) is configured to follow the cable (250, 260) at a distance by determining a received signal quality level and adapting the distance at which the robotic lawnmower (100) is following the cable at according to the determined signal quality level.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to robotic lawnmowers, and more particularly to systems and methods for performing improved wheel-track reduction in work areas. Background technique [0002] Autonomous or robotic power tools such as robotic lawn mowers are becoming more and more popular. In a typical configuration, a work area such as a garden is surrounded by a boundary cable, the purpose of which is to keep the robotic lawnmower within the work area. Robotic lawnmowers are often configured to follow boundary lines or guide cables as they search for their charging stations. Since robotic lawnmowers must be recharged repeatedly, there is a risk of wheel tracks forming along such cables. It should be understood here that the wheel track includes not only the actual track made by the wheels, but also the area under the robotic mower as it moves along the cable which will be cut more often than the rest of the work area , thus forming more or less diff...
