Localising system and method suitable for use with a robotic lawn mower (1), wherein a plurality of spaced reference stations (5 to 7) are associated with an area (L) to be worked by a mobile work station (lawn mower 1) in given positions in relation thereto and wherein the mobile work station (1) communicates with the or two or more of the spaced reference stations (5 to 7) to determine its distance from and bearing with respect thereto, thereby localising the position of the mobile work station (1) relative to the working area (lawn L), such determination being used to enable the mobile work station (1) to carry out a task over at least part of the working area (L) in a controlled manner. The communication may be effected using ultrasonic or electromagnetic radiation. Applications also include robotic floor cleaners etc. <IMAGE> |
