Abstract: A zone mobility system (100) and method for an autonomous device (102) includes a work area within which the autonomous device (102) is intended to operate, one or more electrically separated boundary conductors (106), each boundary conductor surrounding a work zone (108) within the work area, a transmitter base (105) electrically connected to at least one of the boundary conductors (106), and a removably coupled transmitter (104) configured to transmit a signal for directing movement of the autonomous device (102) on the boundary conductor wire (106), wherein the transmitted signal can be adjusted to optimize the power consumption of the transmitter (104), and a work operation can be commenced utilizing a transmitter interface and/or utilizing an autonomous device user interface.

Abstract: A method for autonomous mower navigation includes receiving a return-to-zero encoded signal including a pseudo-random sequence, transforming the received signal to a non-return-to-zero representation, digitally sampling the non-return-to-zero signal representation in a time domain, filtering the sampled signal utilizing a reference data array based on the return-to-zero encoded signal to produce a filter output, and determining a location of the autonomous mower relative to a defined work area based on an evaluation of the filter output.
