Abstract
A method of operating a mowing system, the method including mowing within a work area, wherein mowing is performed by a robotic lawn mower, and wherein the work area comprises a plurality of base stations each configured to charge the robotic lawn mower; determining when to charge the robotic lawn mower in view of a current charge level and a current location of the robotic lawn mower.
Claims31
A method of operating a mowing system, the method comprising:
- mowing within a work area, wherein mowing is performed by a robotic lawn mower, and wherein the work area comprises a plurality of base stations each configured to charge the robotic lawn mower;
- and
- determining when to charge the robotic lawn mower in view of a current charge level and a current location of the robotic lawn mower.
A method of operating a mowing system, the method comprising:
- mowing within a work area, wherein mowing is performed by a plurality of robotic lawn mowers, and wherein the work area comprises a plurality of base stations each configured to charge the plurality of robotic lawn mowers;
- and
- determining when to charge at least one of the plurality of robotic lawn mowers in view of a current charge level and a current location of the at least one of the plurality of robotic lawn mowers, and further in view of a current occupancy of each of the plurality of base stations.
A method of operating a mowing system, the method comprising:
- mowing within a work area using a work plan, wherein mowing is performed by a robotic lawn mower, and wherein the work area comprises a plurality of base stations each configured to charge the robotic lawn mower;
- determining when to charge the robotic lawn mower in view of a current charge level and a current location of the robotic lawn mower;
- determining energy consumption of the robotic lawn mower using the work plan;
- and
- informing future determinations of when to charge the robotic lawn mower in view of the determined energy consumption of the robotic lawn mower using the work plan.
