A mower can dynamically adjust the cutting height of a mower deck based on a mower's location. As a mower travels over an area of grass to be cut, a control system can track the current location of each mower deck on the mower. The control system can compare the current location of a mower deck to a boundary of one or more sections defined within the area to thereby determine which section the mower deck is within. When the control system detects that a mower deck has crossed or will cross into a section, it can identify a particular cutting height assigned to the section and dynamically adjust the cutting height of the mower deck to the particular cutting height. When a mower includes more than one mower deck, the control system can be configured to independently adjust the cutting height of each mower deck based on its location.

The present invention relates to a mobile robot system for autonomously traveling in a travel area, and a method for generating boundary information of the mobile robot system, the mobile robot system being characterized by comprising: a transmitter for transmitting a transmission signal including location information; and a mobile robot which moves and rotates on the basis of the separation distance to the transmitter and the angle with respect to the transmitter, and generates boundary information on a travel area by using a movement path, wherein the transmitter moves along the periphery of the mobile robot and changes the separation distance and the angle to control the travel of the mobile robot.

An outdoor treatment system has an autonomous mobile outdoor treatment robot and a sensor and control device. The outdoor treatment robot has a chassis and a contact element. The chassis is designed to execute a travelling movement of the outdoor treatment robot in a direction of travel. The contact element is designed to execute an avoiding movement in an avoiding direction as a result of the travelling movement in the direction of travel and contact between an obstacle and a lower contact point below a height limit and to execute a detection movement in a detection direction as a result of the travelling movement in the direction of travel and contact between an obstacle and an upper contact point at or above the height limit and is mounted so that it can move with respect to the chassis, wherein the avoiding direction and the detection direction are different. The sensor and control device is designed to detect the detection movement or a movement caused by the detection movement, and to control a protective function of the outdoor treatment robot triggered by the detected detection movement or the detected movement. The sensor and control device does not detect or evaluate the avoiding movement or a movement caused by the avoiding movement.

An automated lawn mower has a frame that is attached to a conventional lawn mower to retrofit the conventional lawn mower for automated lawn cutting operations. In some embodiments, one or more wheels of the conventional lawn mower are removed, and the frame is coupled to the lawn mower at one or more connection points for the removed wheels. The frame is coupled to a motor, a controller, and a plurality of wheels. During operation, the motor drives the wheels under the control of the controller in order to move the automated lawn mower over a lawn for grass cutting operations.

A work vehicle capable of traveling on a public road and in a working field includes: a public road traveling determination unit configured to generate vehicle body position information regarding a position at which the vehicle body is located, determine based on the vehicle body position information whether or not the vehicle body is traveling on the public road, and output a determination result; and a vehicle speed limiter configured to limit a vehicle speed in accordance with the determination result.

A map establishing method includes: generating a working region map and an initial shadow section, the working region map being a map of a boundary, and the initial shadow section being a part of the boundary on which a positioning signal does not meet a quality requirement; generating an initial shadow region according to the initial shadow section; exploring the initial shadow region, and collecting positioning signal quality data and positioning coordinates during exploration; and generating a corrected shadow region according to the positioning signal quality data and the positioning coordinates. A self-moving device includes: a controller; a map generator; and an exploration assembly and a shadow region corrector. An automatic working system is provided with the self-moving device. An actual range of a shadow region is first explored, and then a corrected shadow region is obtained, so that a working region map can be updated.
