According to one embodiment, provided is a method for controlling a system comprising a lawn mower robot, the method comprising: a boundary setting driving step wherein the lawn mower robot drives in order to set a boundary of a target work area in which at least three anchors are installed on the boundary thereof; a shadow area determination step wherein, in the boundary setting driving step, the lawn mower robot receives a signal from the anchors and sets, as a shadow area, an area where the signal cuts off; a driving ending step wherein when the lawn mower robot returns to an initial position, the boundary setting driving step is ended, and driving information received from the anchors is stored; an information transmission step for transmitting, to a simulator, the driving information and information on the shadow area and the target work area; an obstacle map generation step for generating, by the simulator, an obstacle map on the basis of the shadow area of each anchor; a screen output step wherein the simulator overlaps an externally provided map and the obstacle map, and outputs same on a screen; and an anchor recommending step for recommending, to a user, positions at which the size of the shadow areas identified within the target work area can be minimized. According to the present embodiment, a user can easily check whether the anchor installation positions are desirable.

A mower includes a mowing system for cutting grass, a housing, and a traveling assembly including walking wheels. The mowing system includes a cutting assembly, a driving mechanism, and a height adjustment mechanism. The cutting assembly includes a mowing element for cutting the grass. The height adjustment mechanism is used for adjusting a movement of the cutting assembly to have different cutting heights, where the height adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment motor for generating an adjustment force for adjusting the mowing element to the different cutting heights. The mower further includes a parameter detection unit and a control unit, where the parameter detection unit is configured to detect a working parameter of the adjustment motor in a working process, and the control unit is configured to identify a cutting height of the mowing element according to the acquired working parameter.

A mower includes: driving devices respectively provided on a right side and a left side of the mower and configured to be driven independently; and one or more processors configured to: estimate a gradient of a slope on a travel path; and drive the driving devices with different driving forces on the right side and the left side based on the estimated gradient such that the mower does not slip down the slope when the mower travels in a direction crossing the slope.

A walk power mower has a deck with an upwardly and rearwardly extending handle behind which a use walks when operating the mower. The mower is self-propelled by a variable speed traction drive. The handle includes a slidable handle grip for engaging and selecting a speed of the traction drive to control the ground speed of the mower. Forward ground speed is set by pushing the handle grip forwardly on the handle from a neutral position. Reverse ground speed if available is by pulling the handle grip rearwardly from its neutral position. The handle grip follows a curved path as it moves forwardly or rearwardly to flatten the path of travel of the handle grip from the travel that would have occurred absent the curved path.

This invention relates to an information management system of lawn profile data. It comprises a lawn profile information collecting tool for collecting information any pieces of lawns that need mowing jobs; wherein the lawn profile information collecting tool includes a data converter for converting such information to lawn profile data, and data processer for processing the lawn profile data locally into suitable formats and categories for uploading; a mobile device of a user being in communication with the lawn profile information collecting tool to receive the processed lawn profile data; a remote information processing center being in communication with the mobile device and the lawn profile information collecting tool to receive and process requests from the mobile device to upload the lawn profile data; wherein the remote information processing center includes a data storage unit for storing the lawn profile data for usage thereof by a designated lawn mower to perform mowing job, that is, using the stored lawn profile data associated with the particular piece of lawn as requested.

A conditioner unit (6) for conditioning crop material comprises a rotor (17) having a shaft (18) that carries a plurality of conditioning elements, a drive mechanism for driving rotation of the rotor (17) about an axis, and a deflector element having a working surface (26) that surrounds at least part of the circumference of the rotor (17) to define a conditioning passage through which crop material is transported by rotation of the rotor (17). An adjusting mechanism (30) is provided for adjusting the position of the deflector element relative to the rotor (17), the adjusting mechanism (30) including an actuator (50), a sensor for sensing an operational condition of the conditioning unit (6) and a control system (56) that receives a sensor signal from the sensor and controls actuation of the actuator (50) in response to said sensor signal to provide a desired level of conditioning during operation of the conditioner unit (6).
