Abstract
An intelligent lawn mower includes a cutting blade for cutting grass, a deck for supporting the cutting blade, at least one wheel rotatably supporting the deck, a first drive motor to provide torque to the at least one wheel, a mowing path generation module to set multiple target positions on a first virtual boundary and a second virtual boundary of a mowable area boundary according to a preset path and generate a mowing path from the target positions, and a controller electrically connected to or communicated with a display interface and the mowing path generation module to control the intelligent lawn mower to perform mowing tasks along the mowing path generated by the mowing path generation module.
Claims13
An intelligent lawn mower, comprising:
- a cutting blade for cutting grass;
- a deck for supporting the cutting blade;
- at least one wheel rotatably supporting the deck;
- a first drive motor configured to provide torque to the at least one wheel;
- a communication unit configured to communicate with a remote server to receive an electronic map;
- a display interface configured to display an electronically controlled map and to sense user input, the electronically controlled map comprising three superimposed layers:
- a cover layer configured to load the electronic map received by the communication unit, a mark layer configured to store a plurality of position marks, and a control layer configured to extract user input;
- a boundary selection module configured to generate a mowable area boundary from user input sensed by the display and extracted by the control layer, the mowable area boundary defining a mowable area, a first boundary, a second boundary, a first virtual boundary substantially parallel to the first boundary, and a second virtual boundary substantially parallel to the second boundary;
- a mowing path generation module configured to mark a plurality of target positions on the first virtual boundary and the second virtual boundary on the mark layer according to a preset path pattern, and then generate a mowing path from the plurality of target positions, or generate a user-defined mowing path from the user input;
- and
- a controller electrically connected with the display interface and the mowing path generation module, the controller configured to control the intelligent lawn mower to perform mowing tasks according to the mowing path generated by the mowing path generation module.
