1.2.4 Movement pattern The movement pattern of the robotic lawnmower is random, which means that a movement pattern is never repeated. With this cutting system the lawn is mown evenly without any mowing lines from the robotic lawnmower. The blades must be in good condition to obtain the best mowing result.

The lawn should not be cut too often to obtain the best mowing result. When the robotic lawnmower is allowed to mow too much, the lawn may appear flattened. Besides, the robotic lawnmower is subjected to unnecessary wear. If the working area is less than the robotic lawnmower's area capacity, the quality of the grass can be further improved if it is cut every other day instead of a few hours every day.
