US 2026/0083050 A1 · ROBOTIC LAWN MOWER

Abstract

A robotic lawn mower (100) includes a traction motor system (114) and a blade motor system (116) that, respectively, drives wheels (110) and drives a blade (108) of the robotic lawn mower (100). The robotic lawn mower also includes processing circuitry (102) for receiving user inputs that indicate a boundary (432), a mow pattern (1210), and/or a pre-planned path for a location (400). The processing circuitry (102) may control the traction motor system (114) and the blade motor system (116), in accordance with the user input, such that the robotic lawn mower (100) mows a lawn (430) at the location (400) based on the boundary (432), the mow pattern (1210), and/or the pre-planned path. The processing circuitry (102) may also detect an obstacle (820) in the lawn (430) based on the data generated by sensors (810) and operate the robotic lawn mower (100) to avoid the obstacle (820) and continue to mow the lawn based on the boundary (432), mow pattern (1210), and/or pre-planned path.
