A device for damaging weed is provided, the device having a working tool, which is designed to damage the weed; a classification unit, which has positional data of the weed and/or which is designed to detect weeds; a localization unit, which is designed to ascertain a relative position between the working tool and the weed; and a manipulator unit, which is designed to correspondingly position the working tool as a function of the ascertained relative position.

Weed control device

A hand-held power tool includes a drive device in a housing. The drive device is intended to drive a tool accommodated in a tool-accommodating region. An adjusting motion of the hand-held power tool by the user is detected via a sensor device. A controlled variable for setting the drive device is generated in an open-loop or closed-loop control device in the hand-held power tool according to the detected adjusting motion.

Hand-held power tool, in particular battery-powered screwdriver

An autonomous working device, in particular an autonomous lawn mower, is configured to travel across a surface that is to be worked. The working device includes a processing unit configured to divide the surface that is to be worked into at least two dynamic partial surfaces to be traveled across separately by the working device.

Autonomous working device for generating and working dynamic partial surfaces

An autonomous working device, in particular an autonomous lawn mower, comprising a computing unit. The autonomous working device is configured to cover a surface to be treated in strips. The computing unit is configured to adjust an overlap of the strips according to at least one parameter.

Autonomous working device

An autonomous implement comprising at least one drive unit including at least one drive wheel, at least one sensor unit configured to detect at least one characteristic value, at least one location-determining unit configured to detect at least one characteristic value, and at least one evaluating unit. The at least one evaluating unit is configured to determine a slip of the at least one drive wheel from the at least one characteristic value detected by the at least one sensor unit and the at least one characteristic value detected by the at least one location-determining unit.

Autonomous implement

A system has a boundary conductor unit, which is intended to emit a boundary signal, and an at least partially independent mobile unit, which is intended to detect a boundary provided by the boundary conductor unit by means of cross-correlation. It is proposed that the mobile unit has at least one receiving unit which is intended to receive data transmitted by means of the boundary signal.

System having a boundary conductor unit and an independent mobile unit

The disclosure relates to a method for processing a surface by means of a robotic vehicle, wherein the robotic vehicle has a control system in which data concerning the outline of the surface to be processed are stored, wherein locating means are present, which determine the position of the robotic vehicle, in particular in relation to the surface to be processed, and wherein the method comprises the following steps: dividing the surface to be processed into individual segments; classifying each individual segment into a property class; and moving to and processing each individual segment in succession, each individual segment being processed with a processing strategy corresponding to its property class.

Method for processing a surface by means of a robotic vehicle

A self-controlling vehicle, designed for the autonomous movement in an area, is disclosed. The self-controlling vehicle includes driving means for movement and navigation means, wherein the navigation means are designed for the position determination along a closed path surrounding an operating space of the area. The navigation means are designed for creating successive path sectional data, the path sectional data for route sections of the path has assigned orientation information, in particular angle information, and the navigation means are assigned with autocorrelation means, which are designed such that they determine from a sequence of path sectional data corresponding to a movement along the path by determining auto correlation data whether and/or that the vehicle has driven completely along the surrounding path and/or a sequence of route sections already driven is driven again.

Self-steering vehicle

A method for detecting a position with respect to a mobile working machine includes providing a current signal in a boundary conductor, which surrounds the defined area, in accordance with a boundary signal that is provided, the boundary signal corresponding to a pseudo-accident signal; and receiving a detection signal of a magnetic field. The method further includes generating a reconstructed boundary signal from the detection signal; providing a reference signal which has a bit pattern corresponding to the boundary signal provided; carrying out a correlation method in order to determine a time-based correlation offset between the reference signal and the reconstructed boundary signal and a correlation value between the reference signal and the reconstructed boundary signal, which are displaced in relation to each other by the correlation offset determined; and determining a position inside or outside the defined area as a function of the correlation value determined.

Method for detecting a working area and device therefor

A method and apparatus for controlling driving means which are designed to steer and move a robot vehicle () that is designed as a lawn mowing vehicle. The driving means are controlled so that the robot vehicle () travels through several sections () of a working area () in a specific movement pattern according to a section travel strategy with the help of dead reckoning such that two adjoining course sections () overlap with a predefined probability transversely to the direction of travel of the robot vehicle ().
