Navigation for a robotic working tool
First Claim
1. A robotic work tool system comprising a charging station and a robotic work tool, the robotic work tool comprising a controller, the controller being configured to divide a work area into a plurality of sections and control the operation of the robotic work tool to cause the robotic work tool to move along a trajectory within a section of the plurality of sections, the robotic work tool being configured to determine that a boundary of the section is encountered, and if so change the trajectory of the robotic work tool to cause the robotic work tool to remain within the section.

Abstract
A robotic work tool system (200) comprising a charging station (210) and a robotic work tool (100) configured to work within a work area (205) being divided into at least one section (405), the robotic work tool comprising a controller (110) for controlling the operation of the robotic work tool (100) to cause the robotic work tool to move along a trajectory, the robotic work tool (100) being configured to determine that a section boundary is encountered, and if so change the trajectory of the robotic work tool (100) to cause the robotic work tool to remain in the section.
