    Abstract: A robotic lawnmower confinement system includes at least two dispenser units and a powered unit in wired connection with the at least two dispenser units. Each dispenser unit includes a housing containing a length of boundary wire electrically connected to the housing at one end and terminating at a mating connector for transferring an electrical signal at the opposite end. Each dispenser unit also includes a receiving terminal disposed on the housing for receiving a mating connector of another dispenser unit. The powered unit includes at least one electrical connector configured to connect and deliver current to at least one of the at least two dispenser units. The at least two dispenser units and the powered unit can be arranged and connected to form a loop of connected boundary wires recognizable by the robotic lawnmower.

    Abstract: A method of mowing multiple areas includes training the robotic mower to move across a space separating at least two areas, and initiating a mowing operation. Training the robotic mower to move across the space separating the areas includes moving the robotic mower to a traversal launch point of a first of the areas, storing data indicative of location of the traversal launch point, moving the robotic mower to a traversal landing point of a second of the areas, and storing data indicative of location of the traversal landing point. The mowing operation causes the robotic mower to autonomously and in sequence mow the first of the areas, move to the traversal launch point, move from the traversal launch point across the space to the traversal landing point, and then mow the second of the areas.
