  • Patent number: 12153435
    Abstract: A robotic work tool system (200) for defining a working area (205) in which a robotic work tool (100) is subsequently intended to operate. The robotic work tool system (200) comprises a robotic work tool (100), at least one controller (210) and at least one memory (220). The robotic work tool (100) comprises at least one sensor unit (170) configured to collect sensed input data while the robotic work tool (100) is driven around the working area (205) to preliminarily define a perimeter around the working area (205). The at least one controller (210) is configured to establish a preliminary working area perimeter (250). The at least one memory (220) is configured to store a perimeter adjustment function and instructions that cause the at least one controller (210) to adjust the perimeter of the working area (205) by applying the stored perimeter adjustment function to the established preliminary working area perimeter (250) and thereby produce an adjusted working area perimeter (260).

  • Publication number: 20240049627
    Abstract: A robotic work tool system (200) comprising a server (230), a user device (240) and one or more robotic work tools (100, 100-1, 100-2), the server comprising a controller (231), the controller (231) being configured to: define (510) an extent of a work area (205); define (520) features of the work area; receive at least one user requirement from the user device (240); define (540) requirements based on the extent of the work area, the features of the work area and the user requirement; select (550) one or more of the one or more robotic work tools (100) based on capabilities of the robotic work tools (100) by matching the requirements to the capabilities of the robotic work tools; generate (560) operating instructions for the selected robotic work tools (100); and to transmit (570) the operating instructions to the selected robotic work tools (100).
