Abstract: A communication system may include an external device and a robotic garden tool. The external device electronic processor may be configured to retrieve calendar information associated with a location that includes a lawn, and analyze, using at least one of natural language processing and word recognition, the calendar information to extract first information related to use of the lawn at one or more time periods. The external device may be further configured to generate scheduling information for the robotic garden tool based on the first information, and transmit the scheduling information to the robotic garden tool. The robotic garden tool may be configured to receive the scheduling information from the external device, and control operation of the at least one wheel motor to control movement of the robotic garden tool in accordance with the scheduling information.

Abstract: An external device that may include a display and a device network interface configured to allow the external device to wirelessly communicate with one or more robotic garden tools. The external device may be configured to display a scheduling screen on the display. The scheduling screen may include a first display area including a calendar that includes a plurality of time blocks. Each time block may represent a time period during which a first robotic garden tool is scheduled to operate. The scheduling screen may include a second display area including first scheduling information about a selected time block. The first scheduling information and the selected time block may be editable via user inputs. The user inputs change the scheduling information or the time block, and the external device also correspondingly changes the other of the scheduling information or the time block in response to the user inputs.

Abstract: An external device for use with one or more robotic tools, the external device including a display and an electronic processor, where when an initiate setup button is selected by a first user input, the processor is configured to send a signal to the first robotic garden tool to travel from a dock and along a perimeter of an operating area. When the add start point button is selected by a second user input, the processor is configured to retrieve a first position of the first robotic garden tool, the first position being indicative of a first start point remote of the dock, and where the first robotic garden tool is configured to return to the dock after traveling along the perimeter and to communicate a calculated boundary length based on the data gathered by the odometry unit to the processor.

Abstract: An external device may include a display and a device network interface configured to allow the external device to wirelessly communicate with one or more robotic garden tools. The external device may be configured to display a home screen on the display. The home screen may include information related to a first robotic garden tool of the one or more robotic garden tools. The home screen may include a first display area that includes a work overview of scheduled work to be performed by the first robotic garden tool. The home screen may also include a second display area that includes a current status of the first robotic garden tool and a plurality of user-selectable inputs configured to alter the current status of the first robotic garden tool in response to being selected via a user input.

Abstract: A theft prevention system includes a robotic garden tool that includes a housing, and a set of wheels coupled to the housing and configured to rotate to propel the robotic garden tool on an operating surface. The robotic garden tool further includes at least one wheel motor coupled to one or more wheels of the set of wheels to drive rotation of the one or more wheels. The robotic garden tool further include a first electronic processor configured to detect a potential theft event associated with the robotic garden tool. The first electronic processor may be further configured to engage in an anti-theft action in response to detecting the potential theft event. The anti-theft action may include ceasing at least one operation of the robotic garden tool until the first electronic processor receives a code indicating that the potential theft event should be ignored.
