    Abstract: A method and apparatus for controlling driving means which are designed to steer and move a robot vehicle (3) that is designed as a lawn mowing vehicle. The driving means are controlled so that the robot vehicle (3) travels through several sections (2) of a working area (8) in a specific movement pattern according to a section travel strategy with the help of dead reckoning such that two adjoining course sections (5) overlap with a predefined probability transversely to the direction of travel of the robot vehicle (3).

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method (300) and a system (100) for guiding a robotic garden tool to a predetermined position. The robotic garden tool includes a control unit (104) and a sensor unit (102) to detect signals. The sensor unit (102) detects a first signal (110) from a first signal source (106) and the robotic garden tool follows the first signal (110) at a varying distance from the first signal source (106) that is less than or equal to a maximum distance to the first signal source, towards the predetermined position. Wherein, the varying distance is a function of the strength of the detected first signal (110). While detecting the first signal (110), the sensor unit may also detect a second signal (112) from a second signal source (108). The robotic garden tool follows the first signal (110) at a varying distance that is less than or equal to the maximum distance to the first signal source, wherein the maximum distance, at least in part, is now set based on the strength of the detected second signal (112), to reach a predetermined position.

    Abstract: A robotic system comprises a transmitter emitting a plurality of angularly-spaced beams of radiation in an area; and a robot moving within said area and able to detect when it is in the path of one of said beams. On moving through a measured distance across the paths of two or more of the beams, the robot can determine the relative position of the transmitter and the robot by using the distance and the angular spacing of the beams.

    Abstract: A robot obstacle detection system including a robot housing which navigates with respect to a surface and a sensor subsystem aimed at the surface for detecting the surface. The sensor subsystem includes an emitter which emits a signal having a field of emission and a photon detector having a field of view which intersects the field of emission at a region. The subsystem detects the presence of an object proximate the mobile robot and determines a value of a signal corresponding to the object. It compares the value to a predetermined value, moves the mobile robot in response to the comparison, and updates the predetermined value upon the occurrence of an event.
