Abstract
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: “A robot or robotic lawnmower is an autonomous r obot configured to cut grass on a lawn or field. Having a robot lawnmower remove s the need for a human to cut the grass themselves, which can be a mundane and b urdensome task. “FIG. 1 shows an example of a lawn area that a robot lawnmower may operate in. T he robot lawnmower 1 may be housed and charged at a charging station 2, and cut grass within a lawn area 3 designated by a boundary or guide wire 4. The boundar y or guide wire 4 is required to be physically installed prior to activating the robot lawnmower 1. The robot lawnmower 1 detects the boundary wire 4 and change s course, usually in a random direction, to avoid it.
