Abstract

Disclosed is a robotic work tool () for use with at least one guiding wire () adapted to conduct electric current to generate a magnetic field around the guiding wire. The robotic work tool has a sensing system () adapted to detect a strength of the magnetic field, a steering system (), a controller () configured to control the steering system in response to output from the sensing system by means of a feedback control loop () so as to cause movement of the robotic work tool along the guiding wire. The controller is configured to determine a measure indicative of a distance between the robotic work tool and the guiding wire, and adjust at least one parameter of the feedback control loop in response to the determined distance measure.
