The invention relates to a method for mapping a processing area (12, 12'), in particular for determining a processing area (12, 12'), as part of a navigation method for autonomous robot vehicles (10, 10'). According to the invention, said method is characterized in that boundary lines (66) between adjoining mapped (58) and unmapped (60) subareas of the processing area (12, 12') that is to be mapped are identified by comparing distances traveled by the robot vehicle (10, 10') during an initial mapping trip (102) within the processing area (12, 12'), mapping of an unmapped subarea (60) adjoining a boundary line (66, 64, 56) is initiated from a point (70) on one of those identified boundary lines (66, 64, 56) during another mapping trip (146) of the robot vehicle (10, 10') into the unmapped subarea (60), and a map of the processing area (12, 12') is created on the basis of the subareas (58) mapped by the robot vehicle (10, 10'). |
