A lawn mowing apparatus may include sensors that are fastened to both its mower deck and its chassis. The sensors may sense a position of the mower deck in relation to the chassis. The sensed position of the mower deck may be presented to the operator via a dashboard display of the lawn tractor or transmitted via a wireless signal to another device. Based on such sensed position, an operator of the lawn tractor may manually adjust the position of the mower deck until the sensed position of the mower deck is within an acceptable operating range. In some embodiments, servomotors may used to adjust the position of the mower deck until the sensed position of the mower deck is within an acceptable range.

A grass mowing machine includes a vehicle body frame, a mower deck incorporating a rotary cutter blade, a coupling mechanism for coupling the mower deck to the vehicle body frame with allowing a lateral displacement of the mower deck in a vehicle body transverse direction, a mower electric motor attached to the mower deck and configured to feed rotary power to the rotary cutter blade and a displacement operation mechanism MV for laterally displacing the mower deck in the vehicle body transverse direction in operative association with the coupling mechanism.

A brake control unit configured to control a brake to a braked state in response to a brake position sensor having detected that a steering lever has been operated to a stop position and to a released state in response to the brake position sensor having detected that the steering lever has been operated from the stop position toward a travel operation pathway and a travel position sensor having detected that the steering lever is at a neutral position, at which the steering lever is placeable to stop travel.

Training an autonomous machine in a work region for navigation in various lighting conditions includes determining a feature detection range based on an environmental lighting parameter, determining a feature detection score for each of one or more positions in the containment zone based on the feature detection range, determining one or more localizable positions in the containment zone based on the corresponding feature detection scores, and updating the navigation map to include a localization region within the containment zone based on the one or more localizable positions. Navigation may use one or more of an uncertainty area, the localization region, and one or more buffer zones to navigate based on lighting conditions.

A control device capable of improving the position accuracy of map data is disclosed. The control device is configured to acquire information which is output from a working machine which includes a working part and works along a boundary between a working area and a non-working area. The control device includes an operating state acquisition part configured to acquire information indicating an operating state of a machine body of the working machine; a judgment part configured to determine the operating state of the machine body, based on information acquired by the operating state acquisition part; a position information acquisition part configured to acquire position information indicating a position of the machine body; and a storage control part configured to store the position information acquired by the position information acquisition part in the storage, based on a determination result of the judgment part.
