Abstract
A robotic mowing system that includes a station and a robotic mower. The robotic mower has a controller and a memorizer, the memorizer stores a working procedure, and after receiving a start command input by a user, the controller executes the working procedure, so as to control the robotic mower to automatically and repeatedly mow and return to the station to be charged until the controller receives a stop command. In this way, the user does not need to input working parameters, and costs are relatively low.

14. A robotic mowing system comprising:
-
a station; and a robotic mower having; a power source; a drive motor; a memorizer configured to store a fixed working procedure; a controller configured to execute the fixed working procedure after receiving a start command input by a user so as to control the robotic mower to automatically mow and return to the station to be charged until the controller receives a stop command; and a virtual boundary apparatus configured to define a predetermined working area of the robotic mower, wherein the virtual boundary apparatus comprises at least one module selected from the group consisting of a global positioning module, a photographic module, and a lawn identification module, wherein; the global positioning module is configured to perform wireless communication with a positioning satellite and form a virtual boundary by using a predetermined position coordinate sequence; the photographic module is configured to acquire an image of the robotic mower and a surrounding area and delineate a virtual boundary on the photograph; and the lawn identification module is configured to determine whether the ground is a lawn according to a color or dampness of a lawn; wherein the fixed working procedure is configured to; start the drive motor; control the robotic mower to enter into the predetermined working area; control the robotic mower to mow according to a predetermined route or a random route; detect power or a discharge time of the power source; control the robotic mower to return to the station to be charged when the power of the power source is lower than a first predetermined value or the discharge time reaches a first predetermined time; detect the power or a charging time of the power source; and control the robotic mower to mow again when the power of the power source reaches a second predetermined value or the charging time reaches a second predetermined time.
