3 System description
The EPOS system contains a robotic lawn mower, a
charging station and a reference station. The robotic
lawn mower and the reference station receive satellite
signals for positioning. The reference station is
stationary and sends correction data to the robotic lawn
mower to get an accurate position of the robotic lawn
mower. The work area for the product is made virtually

3.2 Satellite signals and radio signals
The global navigation systems (GNSS) that are used are
GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou. Position in the
world, time of the day, season, weather, direction,
satellites or an obscured view between the mower and
the reference station can have an effect on the signals.
3.3 Real-time kinematic (RTK)
Real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning is a satellite
navigation technology used to increase the precision of
position data from satellite based position systems. The
product receives real-time corrections from a reference
station. The accuracy is on centimeter level.
