Robotic vehicle and a lid controller mechanism for a lid thereof

A method of operating a lid of a robotic vehicle, the lid providing access to an interior space of the robotic vehicle in an opened position and preventing access to the interior space in a closed position, the lid being operable by a motor for moving the lid between the opened position and the closed position, the method comprising:

• when the lid is between the opened position and a first intermediary position, the first intermediary position being defined between the opened position and the closed position, providing a first electric current to the motor for exerting a first force on the lid, the first electric current having a first value;
• when the lid is between the first intermediary position and a second intermediary position, the second intermediary position being defined between the first intermediary position and the closed position, providing a second electric current to the motor for exerting a second force on the lid, the second electric current having a second value,
• the second value having a sign opposite to a sign of the first value, the second force being applied in an opposite direction of the first force;
• when the lid is between the second intermediary position and the closed position, providing a third electric current to the motor for exerting a third force on the lid, the third electric current having a third value,
• the third value having a same sign as the sign of the first value, the third force being applied in a same direction as the first force.
