The product is a robotic lawn mower. The product
has a battery power source and cuts the grass
automatically. It continuously alternates between
mowing and charging. The movement pattern is
random, which means that the lawn is mowed
evenly and with less wear. The boundary wire
and the guide wire controls the movement of the
product within the work area. Sensors in the
product senses when it is approaching the
boundary wire. The front of the product always
passes the boundary wire by a specific distance
before the product turns around. When the
product hits an obstacle or approaches the
boundary wire the product selects a new
direction.

1 Introduction
The operator selects the operation settings with
the keys on the keypad. The display shows the
selected and possible operation settings, and the
operation mode of the product.
1.1.2.1 Mowing technique
The robotic lawn mower is efficient and energy
saving. Unlike many standard lawn mowers, the
robotic lawn mower cuts the grass instead of
knocking it off.
Collection of grass is not necessary. The frequent
cutting technique improves the grass quality and
reduces the need of fertilizers. Furthermore, it is
emission free, convenient and the lawn always
looks well maintained.
1.1.2.2 Find the charging station
The product operates until the battery is low.
Then it follows the guide wire to the charging
station. The guide wire is laid from the charging
station towards, for instance, a remote part of the
work area or through a narrow passage. The
guide wire is connected with the boundary wire
and makes it much easier and faster for the
product to find the charging station.
