Pheromone for robotic boundary

摘要

A method for regenerating a boundary of an area for containing a mobile machine is provided. An emitter is detected in an area designated to contain the mobile machine. In response to detecting the emitter, a function is performed. In addition, the emitter is reapplied on a predetermined time interval basis over an existing detected emitter to minimize deterioration of a strength of the emitter due to time and environmental factors.

1. A method for a mobile machine, the method comprising:
the mobile machine detecting an emitter in an area, the emitter defining an operating environment; the mobile machine performing a function in the operating environment; and the mobile machine applying additional emitter over the detected emitter to minimize deterioration of a strength of the emitter due to time and environmental factors, wherein the emitter is included in a boundary application substance, wherein the boundary application substance is initially applied by a user to form the boundary, and wherein the boundary application substance evaporates more rapidly than the emitter evaporates.
