How to Create a Map
1. Tap Start Creating via the app, and the robot will check its status and calibrate. It will automatically leave the charging station to do the calibration. Please be careful.
2. Guide the robot remotely to the edge of your lawn and tap Set Starting int to establish the starting
point for the boundary.
3. Remote control the robot to move along the perimeter of your lawn to map out the work area.
Auto Boundary Detection
Powered by an advanced Al algorithm, the robot uses its front camera to detect grass and non-grass areas, allowing it to identify boundaries without the need for manual guidance.
After guiding the robot remotely to the lawn edge and setting the starting point, you can use Auto
Boundary Detection mode. You can choose whether the robot should cross the perimeter for cleaner edge cutting results or stay close to it to avoid getting stuck.
We recommend following the robot during this process. If the robot fails to accurately detect the
boundaries, you can exit Auto Boundary Detection mode and switch to remote control at any time.
Important: The Auto Boundary Detection mode should be used in daylight to ensure proper visibility. Avoid using this feature in poor light or rainy conditions.
Important: Make sure the robot's front camera is clean and unobstructed.
4. When the robot returns to within 1 m of the starting point you can tap Close Boundary and the
boundary will automatically be completed.
Frequently Asked Questions About Map Creation
1. Can I leave the robot unattended after enabling the "Auto Boundary Detection" feature?
For safety and accuracy, it's recommended to stay near the robot while the "Auto Boundary Detection" feature is active. If any issues arise during the process, you can exit auto mode at any time and switch to manual control.
2. Can "Auto Boundary Detection" be enabled when creating no-go zones and paths?
No, the "Auto Boundary Detection" feature currently only supports detecting the lawn boundary and cannot be used to create no-go zones or paths.
3. The boundary automatically detected by the robot is incorrect. How can I modify it?
1) During Auto Boundary Detection, you can exit Auto mode at any time and use the "Undo" feature to remotely control the robot and remove unwanted boundary sections.
2) After the map is generated, you can also modify it through the "Map Editing" section, where you can expand or split zones as needed.
4. There have been some changes to my garden. Do I need to remap?
Yes, you can directly edit the existing map in "Map Editing" via the app. If your garden has changed significantly, we recommend remapping to avoid potential issues with positioning.
5. Will moving the charging station's location after mapping affect the robot's work?
If you move the charging station's position substantially while the robot is working, it will lead to a failure in docking. However, the robot will update the charging station's location automatically each time it leaves the charging station to start a task. If you have moved the charging station outside the work area, you can go to Map Editing > Set Path to create a path to connect the charging station with the work area.
6. How do I modify the map after it is complete?
1) Expanding a Zone: Go to "Map Editing" and select "Set zone". If the new zone doesn’t overlap with an existing one, a path is required to connect them. If they do overlap, the new zone will automatically merge with the existing one.
2) Deleting a Zone: In "Map Editing", you can delete independent zones that have not been separated. To remove part of a zone, use the "Set no-go zone" function to draw the area you want to delete.
7. Can I place the charging station outside the lawn when creating a map?
Yes, you can install the charging station in any suitable location. If the charging station is outside the work area, you can tap "Path" during mapping to remotely control the robot to move from the work area to the area in front of the charging station, creating a connecting path. The robot will not activate the blade disc while moving along this path to avoid damaging the surface.
8. How do I map my garden if its front and back yards are not connected?
a. Create path between the two yards:
If your front and back yards are not connected but there is a passageway the robot can travel through:
- You can first create the boundary of the front yard, then tap "Work zone" in the app to remotely control the robot to go to the backyard to create the boundary.
- Next, tap "Path" to remotely control the robot to create a path connecting the front and back yards.
- Finally, generate a complete map.
b. Create two individual maps:
If there is a physical barrier between the front and back yards that prevents the robot from moving between them:
- The robot supports two individual maps. You can create separate maps for the front and back gardens, then switch between them as needed.
