    Abstract: A charging control system includes a lawn mower that includes a battery and performs a lawn mowing work while traveling autonomously, and a charging station for charging the battery. The lawn mower includes a superimposing unit for superimposing, on a charging current, a current indicating period information for defining a shutoff period of supply power to be supplied from the charging station. The charging station includes a current detector for detecting the charging current, an information acquisition unit for acquiring period information based on a detection result of the current detector, a switch for shutting off the supply power, and a shutoff controller for controlling the operation of the switch. The shutoff controller releases the shutoff of supply of power to the lawn mower based on the period information acquired by the information acquisition unit. Therefore, the power consumption of the lawn mower can be reduced.

    Abstract: An autonomous work vehicle is adapted to be guided by a signal emitted by a wire disposed at a working area. The autonomous work vehicle includes a control unit comprising a processor, and at least one sensor detecting the signal emitted by the wire. The wire includes an area wire surrounding the working area, and a shortcut wire disposed inside the working area. When the at least one sensor detects the shortcut wire while the autonomous work vehicle is tracing the area wire at a predetermined variable distance, the control unit is configured to control the autonomous work vehicle to trace the shortcut wire at a predetermined variable distance.

    Abstract: An autonomous work vehicle including a positioning information obtaining unit including a GNSS receiver acquiring a position of the autonomous work vehicle, a driving unit including a motor, a memory storing position coordinates used to establish an entry avoidance zone, and a control unit including a processor. The control unit is configured to function as a zone entry judgement unit determining whether the autonomous work vehicle has approached the entry avoidance zone, and a zone entry validation unit determining whether the determination by the zone entry judgement unit that the autonomous work vehicle has approached the entry avoidance zone is valid. When the zone entry judgement unit determines that the autonomous work vehicle has approached the entry avoidance zone, and the zone entry validation unit determines that the determination by the zone entry judgement unit is valid, the control unit controls the autonomous work vehicle to perform an avoidance maneuver.
