Functional description

1
The robot mower mows the grass in randomly
selected paths. It is necessary to route a perime‐
ter wire (1) so the robot mower can identify the
boundaries of the mowing area.
The perimeter wire (1) transmits a signal to the
robot mower. The signal is generated by the
docking station.

The robot mower identifies fixed obstacles (2) in
the mowing area using ultrasound sensors and a
bump sensor.
If the robot mower identifies a fixed obstacle (2),
it will slow down, bump into the fixed obstacle
and then continue to move in a different direc‐
tion.
Areas (3) the robot mower must not navigate and
obstacles it must not come into contact with must
be blocked off from the remaining mowing area
with the help of the perimeter wire (1).
If the robot mower identifies a blocked-off
area (3), it will slow down and then continue to
move in a different direction.
In mowing operation, the robot mower leaves the
docking station by itself and mows the lawn.
The robot mower is operated by the MYiMOW
app and the buttons in the control panel on the
robot mower. Light strips and the matrix display
on the robot mower as well as an artificially gen‐
erated voice output provide information about the
current status of the robot mower.
4
If the battery's state of charge is low, the robot
mower will search for the nearest guide wire (4)
during the mowing operation. If a guide wire (4)
is recognized, the robot mower will return to the
docking station by itself. The docking station
recharges the battery. At least one guide wire (4)
must be installed in the mowing area. A maxi‐
mum of three guide wires can be installed. If the
mowing operation is canceled or the battery must
be charged, the robot mower can be sent directly
back to the docking station using the MYiMOW
app or HOME pushbutton.
