A robotic system for systematically moving about an area to be covered. The system includes at least one boundary marker () located along the outer edge of the area to be covered, a robot () with a navigation system () that navigates the robot () in generally straight, parallel lines from an initial location and turns the robot () when the robot () encounters one of the boundary markers (), thereby to systematically move about the area to be covered. The sensor unit () senses proximity to one of the at least one boundary marker ().

Area coverage with an autonomous robot

There is therefore provided, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a robotic system for systematically moving about an area to be covered. The system includes at least one boundary marker () located along the outer edge of the area to be covered, a robot () with a navigation system () and a sensor unit (). The navigator system () navigates the robot () in generally straight, parallel lines from an initial location and turns the robot () when the robot () encounters one of the boundary markers (), thereby to systematically move about the area to be covered. The sensor unit () senses proximity to one of the at least one boundary marker ().

There is therefore provided, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a robotic system for systematically moving about an area to be covered. The system includes at least one boundary marker ( ) located along the outer edge of the area to be covered, a robot ( ) with a navigation system ( ) and a sensor unit ( ). The navigation system ( ) navigates the robot ( ) in generally straight, parallel lines from an initial location and turns the robot ( ) when the robot ( ) encounters one of the boundary markers ( ), thereby to systematically move about the area to be covered. The sensor unit ( ) senses proximity to one of the at least one boundary marker ( ).

There is disclosed a utility robot for operating in multiple modes, in particular, at least one autonomous mode and at least one manual mode. The robot is configured with a recognition system for recognizing a signal indicating the particular mode in which to operate, and adjusts its control system accordingly. Methods for operation of this utility, performing various tasks, such as lawn mowing, vacuuming, floor cleaning and snow removing are also disclosed.
