Abstract

The present disclosure relates to the field of intelligent lawn mowers and logic control technologies thereof, and discloses a path planning method for an intelligent lawn mower. The path planning method includes: starting a touch panel of the intelligent lawn mower; entering a path planning setting interface, which displays a schematic diagram of a region to be mowed, a path angle indicating image and a path angle setting image; receiving a touch input of a user with respect to the path angle setting image to set a path angle; adjusting, based on the set path angle, the path angle indicating image for display; and re-planning a path of the intelligent lawn mower based on the set path angle and a preset algorithm. The present disclosure further provides a path planning system for the intelligent lawn mower.

Claims (18)

1. A path planning method for an intelligent lawn mower, the method comprising:

starting a touch panel of the intelligent lawn mower;

entering a path planning setting interface, which displays a schematic diagram of a region to be mowed, a path angle indicating image and a path angle setting image;

receiving a touch input of a user with respect to the path angle setting image to set a path angle;

adjusting, based on the set path angle, the path angle indicating image for display; and

planning a path of the intelligent lawn mower based on the set path angle and a preset algorithm.

2. The path planning method for the intelligent lawn mower according to claim 1 , wherein the path angle indicating image and the path angle setting image are the same.

3. The path planning method for the intelligent lawn mower according to claim 1 , further comprising: displaying a mowing path schematic diagram on the touch panel based on the planned path.

4. The path planning method for the intelligent lawn mower according to claim 1 , wherein the touch panel and the intelligent lawn mower are in detachable connection.

5. The path planning method for the intelligent lawn mower according to claim 1 , wherein the schematic diagram of the region to be mowed is constituted by a plurality of grids of which the sizes are half to twice of the size of the lawn mower.

6. The path planning method for the intelligent lawn mower according to claim 5 , wherein the schematic diagram of the region to be mowed comprises region boundary information and obstacle boundary information.

7. A path planning system for an intelligent lawn mower, the system comprising:

a display module, configured to display a path planning setting interface, a schematic diagram of a region to be mowed, a path angle indicating image and a path angle setting image;

an input module, configured to receive a gesture input of a user with respect to the path angle setting image by a touch panel of the intelligent lawn mower to set a path angle; and

a controller, configured to adjust, based on the path angle set by the input module, the path angle indicating image for display, and to plan a path of the intelligent lawn mower based on a preset algorithm and the path angle.

8. The path planning system for the intelligent lawn mower according to claim 7 , wherein the path angle indicating image and the path angle setting image are the same.

9. The path planning system for the intelligent lawn mower according to claim 7 , wherein the display module is further configured to display a mowing path schematic diagram based on the planned path.

10. The path planning system for the intelligent lawn mower according to claim 7 , wherein the touch panel and the intelligent lawn mower are in detachable connection.
