    Abstract: A robotic lawnmower (100) for movable operation within a work area (205) has a satellite navigation device (190), a deduced reckoning navigation sensor (195) and a controller (110). The controller causes the robotic lawnmower (100) to movably operate within the work area (205) in a first operating mode, the first operating mode being based on positions determined from satellite signals received by the satellite navigation device (190). The controller determines that a position cannot be reliably determined based on satellite signals received by the satellite navigation device (190), and in response thereto causes the robotic lawnmower (100) to movably operate within the work area (205) in a second operating mode. In the second operating mode, a deduced reckoning position estimate is obtained by the deduced reckoning navigation device (195). A search space is defined using the deduced reckoning position estimate, and the satellite navigation device (190) is recalibrated based on the defined search space. Once the satellite navigation device (190) has been recalibrated, the controller causes the robotic lawnmower (100) to again operate in the first operating mode.

    Abstract: A robotic work tool for movable operation within a work area. The robotic lawnmower comprises a satellite navigation device; and a controller, the controller being configured to cause the robotic work tool to movably operate within the work area based on positions partly or in whole determined from satellite signals received by the satellite navigation device being a differential satellite navigation device and on phase information received from a reference station, by: receiving phase information from the reference station for a satellite signal received by the reference station; storing the phase information; determining that further phase information from the reference station for the satellite signal received by the reference station is not available or erroneous, and in response thereto; extrapolating phase information based on the stored phase information; receiving a satellite signal received by the robotic work tool; comparing the extrapolated phase information to phase information of the satellite signal received by the robotic work tool; determining a position based on the comparison for movably operating the robotic work tool.
