More Information
Summary:A method for use in a robotic lawnmower (100) arranged to operate in an operational area, the robotic lawnmower comprising a work tool (160), a navigation sensor, and a grass sensor, wherein the signal-based navigation sensor is configured to provide a current location of the robotic lawnmower (100), wherein the grass sensor is configured to provide a determination of whether the robotic lawnmower is currently operating on grass or not, and wherein the method comprises: causing the robotic lawnmower (100) to operate in the operational area with the work tool (160) active; determining that the navigation sensor is unable to provide an accurate location; determining whether the robotic lawnmower is currently operating on grass or not based on the grass sensor, and if so, continuing operating with the work tool active, and if not so, continuing operating with the work tool deactivated.
