  • Method for teaching at least one section of a delimiting border of a land area for a green area maintenance system, method for operating a green area maintenance system, teach-in system and green area maintenance system
    Patent number: 11758839
    Abstract: A method teaches at least one section of a delimiting border of a land area for a green area maintenance system. The green area maintenance system has: an autonomous mobile green area maintenance robot, and a robot position determining system. The robot position determining system is designed to detect robot position coordinates of the green area maintenance robot. The robot position coordinates are based on a first position determining technology. The method (a) defines a sequence of teach-in position coordinates of the section, the teach-in position coordinates being based on a second position determining technology different from the first position determining technology, and (b) transforms the defined sequence of teach-in position coordinates into a sequence of transformation robot position coordinates, the transformation robot position coordinates being based on the first position determining technology.
