AUTONOMOUS MOBILE ROBOT CONFINEMENT SYSTEM

摘要

A robotic lawnmower confinement system (500) includes at least two dispenser units (600) and a powered unit (300) in wired connection with the at least two dispenser units. Each dispenser unit includes a housing (610) containing a length of boundary wire (520) electrically connected to the housing at one end and terminating at a mating connector (522) for transferring an electrical signal at the opposite end. Each dispenser unit also includes a receiving terminal (630) disposed on the housing for receiving a mating connector of another dispenser unit. The powered unit includes at least one electrical connector (322) configured to connect and deliver current to at least one of the at least two dispenser units. The at least two dispenser units and the powered unit can be arranged and connected to form a loop of connected boundary wires recognizable by the robotic lawnmower (100).
