Abstract[English]
A robot lawn mower and computer implemented method is disclosed for distinguishing a type of feature in a lawn area. The method includes detecting a non-lawn feature in an upcoming path of the robot lawnmower, controlling the robot lawnmower to circumnavigate the non-lawn feature around a perimeter of the non-lawn feature, recording characteristics of the circumnavigation of the non-lawn feature, and distinguishing, based on the characteristics of the circumnavigation, a type of non-lawn feature as being either a boundary of a lawn area or a feature entirely contained within the lawn area.[French]
Sont divulgués une tondeuse à gazon robotisée et un procédé mis en œuvre par ordinateur pour distinguer un type d'élément dans une zone de pelouse. Le procédé comprend les étapes consistant à détecter un élément autre que la pelouse dans un trajet à venir de la tondeuse à gazon robotisée, amener la tondeuse à gazon robotisée à contourner l'élément autre que la pelouse en suivant un périmètre de l'élément autre que la pelouse, enregistrer les caractéristiques du contournement de l'élément autre que la pelouse, et distinguer, sur la base des caractéristiques du contournement, un type d'élément autre que la pelouse comme étant soit une limite d'une zone de pelouse, soit un élément entièrement enclavé à l'intérieur de la zone de pelouse.
