  • Publication number: 20230350421
    Abstract: A method for use in a robotic work tool system (200) comprising a charging station (210), a wire (220) leading to/from the charging station (210) and a robotic work tool (100) arranged to operate in an operational area (205), the robotic work tool (100) comprising one or more magnetic sensors (170), and a satellite navigation sensor (175), wherein the method comprises: exiting the charging station (210); following the wire (220) navigating based on the one or more magnetic sensors (170); determining that a release point (RP) has been reached, and in response thereto navigating in the operational area (205) based on the satellite navigation sensor (175).

  • Publication number: 20230042864
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a control arrangement (1) for a self-propelled robotic lawnmower (3) having a cutting unit (5, 6) configured to rotate during operation of the lawnmower (3). The control arrangement (1) is configured to navigate the lawnmower (3) along a navigation path (7) comprising adjacent mowing strokes (S, Sp, Su). The control arrangement (1) is configured to set a rotation direction (rl, r2) of the cutting unit (5, 6) based on the navigation path (7), or is configured to select the navigation path (7) based on a rotation direction (rl, r2) of the cutting unit (5, 6). By adapting the rotation direction (rl, r2) or the navigation path (7), the direction (d1, d2) to which grass clippings are ejected, i.e. towards the previous mowing stroke (Sp) or to a future mowing stroke (Su) is controlled thereby reducing energy consumption or grass decomposition time.

  • Patent number: 9872437
    Abstract: A robotic work tool system (200), comprising a charging station (210), a boundary wire (250), a signal generator (240) for generating and transmitting a signal through said boundary wire (250) for demarcating a work area (205) and for generating a magnetic field (265) for guiding a robotic work tool (100) to said charging station (210), said robotic work tool (100) being configured to detect a magnetic field strength of the magnetic field (265) in the work area (205), direct itself towards an increasing magnetic field strength, determine that the robotic work tool (100) is unable to reach the charging station (210), inform the robotic work tool system (200) accordingly, whereby the robotic work tool system (200) is configured to adapt a current level of the signal generating the magnetic field (365).

  • Patent number: 9419453
    Abstract: A charging coupling for connecting a robotic garden tool with a charging device may facilitate the charging of a battery of the robotic garden tool. The charging coupling may include a first charging contact and a second charging contact. The first charging contact may be a charging plate or a charging rod. The second charging contact may be provided with a row of resilient contact bars. The arrangement of the first charging contact and the second charging contact may be configured such that the resilient contact bars are pressed against the charging plate to provide multiple contact points.
