  • Publication number: 20230185309
    Abstract: A robotic work tool system (200) comprising a robotic work tool (100) comprising a controller (110), the controller (110) being configured to determine an area locality (310) associated with a hindrance; determine a classifier (C) associated with the area locality (310); and determine an action for the robotic work tool (100), wherein the action is based on the classifier (C).

  • Publication number: 20230176225
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a robotic working tool system comprising a robotic working tool (1), and navigation means enabling the robotic working tool to navigate within a working area (3) defined by a working area boundary (13). The navigation means comprising a base RTK unit (9), adapted to be stationary during operation of the robotic working tool (1), a mobile RTK unit (11), adapted to move with and provide positioning data to the robotic working tool (1), and a recording RTK unit (11, 9, 17) which is separate from or separable from the robotic working tool (1) to be moved along a path (15) to record position data corresponding to the working area boundary (13) independently of the robotic working tool (1), and to transfer the position data to the robotic working tool (1).

  • Publication number: 20230074101
    Abstract: A robotic work tool system (200) for defining a stay-out area (120) within a work area (150). The stay-out area (120) is an area which is to be excluded from the work area (150) in which a robotic work tool (100) is subsequently intended to operate. The robotic work tool system (200) comprises a boundary definition unit (130) comprising at least one position unit (175) configured to receive position data and at least one controller (110, 210). The controller (110,210) is configured to receive a stay-out area definition trigger signal, which indicates that the boundary definition unit (130) has approached the stay-out area to be defined. The controller (110,210) is further configured to receive, based on the received signal, position data indicating the present position of the boundary definition unit (130) from the position unit (175). The controller (110,210) is further configured to define the stay-out area (120) as an area centered at an offset from the received position data.

  • Publication number: 20230034100
    Abstract: A robotic work tool system (200) comprising a robotic work tool (100), the robotic work tool (100) being configured to determine (410) that the robotic work tool (100) has entered a state of limited movement; determine (420) an exit path; and exit (430) the state of limited movement by navigating the exit path.

  • Publication number: 20230010420
    Abstract: A method for operating a robotic work tool (1) comprising a sensor for detecting a boundary wire (3) demarcating a work area (2). The method comprises the steps of detecting (9) at least a partial crossing of the boundary wire (3), allowing (12) a crossing of the boundary wire (3) by an offset, switching (8) between a first offset setting and at least a second offset setting of the work tool (1) based on one or more events (7). A robotic work tool (1) comprises a controller for controlling the operation of the robotic working tool (1). The controller is configured to: control the work tool (1) to operate within the work area (2), determine whether the work tool (1) crosses the boundary wire (3), allow a crossing of the wire (3) by the offset, and switch (8) between at least two offset settings stored in the work tool (1).

  • Publication number: 20220342425
    Abstract: A robotic work tool system (200) for avoiding trails from a robotic work tool (100) in a transit zone (300) in which the robotic work tool (100) is allowed to travel from a start point (320) to a goal point (330) along a travel path (310). The system (200) comprises at least one memory (120,220) configured to store information about the transit zone (300), at least one robotic work tool (100) configured to travel along the travel path (310) and at least one controller (110,210) for controlling operation of the robotic work tool (100). The controller (110,210) is configured to receive, from the memory (120,220), information about the transit zone (300) and generate, based on the transit zone (300), the travel path (310) for the robotic work tool (100) from the start point (320) to the goal point (330). The generated travel path (310) is configured to differ from previously generated travel paths.
