    Abstract: In one aspect, a mobile robot includes a chassis, a shell moveably mounted on the chassis by a shell suspension system, and a sensor assembly configured to sense a distance and a direction of shell movement relative to the chassis. The sensor assembly includes a magnet disposed on an underside of the shell. The sensor assembly further includes three or more Hall effect sensors disposed on the chassis in a triangular pattern at fixed distances such that the three or more Hall effect sensors are positioned beneath the magnet when no force is applied to the shell, wherein relative motion between the magnet and the Hall effect sensors causes the sensors to produce differing output signals. The mobile robot also includes a controller configured to receive output signals from the Hall effect sensors and to determine a distance and a direction of movement of the shell relative to the chassis.

    Abstract: In an apparatus for controlling operation of an autonomously navigating utility vehicle travelling about a working area delineated by a boundary wire, the working area including a narrow area and a broad area, there are provided with a magnetic field strength detector, a travel controlling unit controlling the vehicle to turn and travel straight forward every time the vehicle reaches the boundary wire based on the magnetic field strength, and a narrow area discriminating unit discriminating that the vehicle travels in the narrow area when the magnetic field strength is kept to be greater than a threshold value predefined based on a minimum value of the magnetic field strength in the narrow area from a first turn to a second turn of the vehicle, or for a predetermined time period after the first turn.

    Abstract: A robotic work tool system (200) comprising a robotic work tool (100) comprising a collision detection sensor (190), said collision detection sensor (190) comprising a first sensor element (191) and a plurality of second sensor elements (192), wherein said first sensor element (191) is movably arranged with respect to said plurality of second sensor elements (192), wherein said robotic work tool (100) is configured to detect that said first sensor element (191) is proximate a peripheral second sensor element (192) and in response thereto determine that a collision has been detected, and detect that said first sensor element (191) is not proximate any peripheral second sensor element (192) and in response thereto determine that a lift has been detected.
