AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

If the mower cannot access these areas, such areas may be missed, reducing the perceived quality of the cut
Conversely, when the mower is able to reach these areas, it may be inappropriately "parked", potentially extending the time it takes to complete the mowing task before it needs to be recharged

Abstract

Apparatus, systems, and methods for directing an autonomous robotic vehicle such as a lawn mower relative to a work region are disclosed. In some embodiments, the vehicle travels in a random pattern within a travelling containment zone of a lesser size than the work region. The travelling containment zone may move or travel across the work region such that, over time, the travelling containment zone travels over most all of a working surface of the work region.

Description

technical field [0001] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 599,938, filed December 18, 2017, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 588,680, filed November 20, 2017, both of which are incorporated by reference in their entirety into this article. [0002] The present disclosure relates to autonomous robotic work machines, including vehicles such as lawn mowers, and more particularly to methods and systems for controlling the operation of such machines on a property or other work area. Background technique [0003] Lawn and garden machines are known for performing a variety of tasks. For example, homeowners and professionals alike use electric lawn mowers to maintain grassy areas on properties or yards. [0004] Robotic lawn mowers that perform the mowing function autonomously are also known. Robotic lawn mowers are typically battery powered and are usually limited to cutting only a portion of the property's lawn before requiring rechar...
