Abstract
A method is provided for identifying at least one section of a boundary edge of an area to be treated and for operating an autonomous mobile green area maintenance robot on the area to be treated. The method includes recording live images using a camera, superimposing target symbols on the recorded live images, aiming with the target symbol and guiding the target symbol by orienting the camera, marking in respective images a boundary edge image point using the target symbol, and obtaining a sequence of position coordinates of a boundary edge based on the boundary edge image points.
