Navigation method and system for autonomous machines with markers defining the working area

摘要: A method for automatically operating a robot, attached to lawnmower or other unmanned machine, within an enclosed area is disclosed. The includes the steps of: 1) providing following elements: proximity sensor positioned on boundary along perimeter of working and each in which robot should not operate, boundaries being detectable by sensor, processing unit connected receiving input therefrom, navigation determine coordinates relative arbitrary origin, direction finder, memory store values generated unit; 2) causing move provided around area, detect memorize their shape, representative boundaries, thereby generate basic map area. When operate (a) start from starting point having known area; (b) continuously determining analyzing data obtained detecting vicinity boundary; (c) correcting actual position comparing calculated detected boundary.
