Abstract: A method for use in a robotic work tool system (200) comprising a first robotic work tool (100:1) and a second robotic work tool (100:1) arranged to operate in an operational area (205) comprising a transport area (TA), the method comprising determining (310) that a transport is upcoming, and in response thereto moving (320) to a start area (SA); waiting (330) for the second robotic work tool (100:2) to reach the start area (SA); and then determining (340) that it is time to enter the transport area (TA), and in response thereto moving (350) through the transport area (TA) as a group.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for controlling an autonomous robotic tool using a modular autonomy control unit. The control unit includes an interface with the autonomous robotic tool and comprises a processor, configured to control the autonomous robotic tool during operation. The modular autonomy control unit transfers a set of test instructions to the autonomous robotic tool, triggering the latter to carry out a set of test actions in response to the test instructions—The modular autonomy control unit detects sensor input in response to the test actions, and computes a corresponding error vector, based on which calibration data is updated. Then, the modular autonomy control unit controls the robotic tool based on the calibration data. This allows a general control unit to be used in connections with several types of robotic work tools.

Abstract: A work tool system (200) comprising a work tool (100) and a server (320), the server (320) comprising a controller (321) and a communication interface (325) and the work tool (100) comprising a controller (110) and a communication interface (115), wherein the server (320) is configured to: receive movement indications for a user (U) through the communication interface (325); determine a movement pattern based on the movement indications; determine a Do Not Disturb area suitable for the movement pattern; and to transmit information on the Do Not Disturb area to the work tool (100) through the communication interface (325); and wherein the work tool (100) is configured to: receive information on the Do Not Disturb area; control the work tool so that the Do Not Disturb area is not violated.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an implement carrier 1 comprising an implement carrier body 3 driven by a driving arrangement 5 and configured for connecting alternatingly with at least a first 7 and a second 9 implement. The implement carrier further comprises at least one sensor module 11 adapted for scanning at least a portion of the area surrounding the implement carrier 1 and a connected implement 7, 9, such as containing ultrasound sensors and the like. A moveable sensor module arm 13 is provided, having a proximal end 15 connected to the implement carrier body 3, wherein the sensor module 11 is arranged on the sensor module arm at a distance from the proximal end 15. This allows for a flexible placing of the sensor module11 with regard to the implement carrier 1.

Abstract: A launch control system for a hybrid vehicle is described. The system includes overcharging an electrical energy storage unit of the hybrid vehicle, operating an internal combustion engine at an increased power level, and operating an electric motor at an increased power level with the overcharged electrical energy storage unit. The transmission during the launch is configured to connect the electric motor and the internal combustion engine to a drivetrain of the hybrid vehicle, and to selectively slip friction clutches to store energy and release it for the launch.
