Abstract
A user device, such as a smartphone or a tablet computer, can provide a user with information pertaining to operations of an autonomous robotic lawnmower to assist the user with monitoring the operations of the robotic lawnmower and with setting up the autonomous robotic lawnmower. For example, the user device can present example lawn shapes and recommended locations of beacons suitable for these lawn shapes, can indicate the quantity of beacons detected by the autonomous robotic lawnmower, can be used to establish a region on a lawn where the autonomous robotic lawnmower performs a particular behavior, can be used to select a grass height that the autonomous robotic lawnmower cuts the lawn, and can be taught a particular path to take when returning to a docking station to charge the autonomous robotic lawnmower.
