Abstract
A robotic work tool system comprising a robotic work tool (100) arranged to operate in an operational area (205), the robotic work tool system comprising controller (110, 240A) being configured to receive (410) a map of the operational area, receive (420) a first temporary boundary (220-1-4), receive (430) a second temporary boundary (220-1-4), and generate (440) a composite boundary (220C) encompassing the first and the second temporary boundaries (220-1-4), wherein the composite boundary (220C) is the boundary (220) for the robotic work tool (100) when operating in the operational area (205).
Claims19
A method for use in a robotic work tool system comprising a robotic work tool arranged to operate in an operational area, wherein the method comprises:
- receiving a map defined by a graphical representation of the operational area,
- receiving a first temporary boundary,
- receiving a second temporary boundary, and
- generating a composite boundary encompassing the first and the second temporary boundaries, wherein the composite boundary is a boundary for the robotic work tool when operating in the operational area,
- wherein at least a portion of one of the first temporary boundary or the second temporary boundary is defined by user input as a drawing of the portion on a display at which the map is displayed.
