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.

Abstract: A method for determining a robot position of an autonomous mobile green area maintenance robot on an area to be maintained includes the steps of: determining at least one robot position of the autonomous mobile green area maintenance robot by virtue of the green area maintenance robot receiving at least one global positioning signal from a global positioning system; determining a station position for at least one local positioning station on the basis of the at least one determined robot position and by interchanging at least one local positioning signal between the green area maintenance robot and the at least one positioning station; and determining a robot position of the green area maintenance robot on the area to be maintained on the basis of the at least one determined station position and by interchanging at least one local positioning signal between the green area maintenance robot and the at least one positioning station.

Abstract: A system for lightning detection is provided. The lightning detection system includes a conductor configured to receive a lightning strike and transmit a lightning induced current. The system also includes a fiber optic current sensor configured to detect multiple lightning parameters from the lightning induced current and to modulate a beam of radiation in response thereto. The system further includes an electro-optic module configured to receive and convert the beam of radiation from the fiber optic current sensor to an electrical signal.
