Mapping Your Garden

Create Virtual Boundary

Before mapping, ensure the robot's battery is above 50%, the LiDAR protective cover is removed, the top cover is closed, and the robot is correctly docked in the charging station. To create a virtual boundary, tap "Start Creating" in the app. The robot will check its status and calibrate. Guide the robot remotely to the edge of your lawn and tap "Set Starting Point". Then, enable "Auto Boundary Detection" mode to map out the work area. Walk within 5m behind the robot during mapping. The robot can navigate slopes up to 45%, but for better mowing results, keep work areas below 25% slope. For areas narrower than 60cm, set them as paths. If your lawn is more than 4cm higher than the adjacent ground, keep the robot at least 10cm away from the edge. If your lawn is level with the adjacent ground, the robot can cross the perimeter for optimal mowing. Make sure turning angles are greater than 90°. Avoid using auto boundary detection in poor light or rainy conditions, and use it in daylight for proper visibility. We recommend following the robot during this process. If the robot fails to accurately detect boundaries, you can exit Auto Boundary Detection mode and switch to remote control. Ensure the robot's front camera is clean and unobstructed. When the robot returns to within 1m of the starting point, tap "Close Boundary" to complete the boundary setting.

Set No-Go Zones

For objects you want to protect, set them as no-go zones. These include swimming pools, sandpits, recreational facilities (trampolines, etc.), flowerbeds, exposed tree roots, and power cords. Tap "No-go Zone" in the app and review the precautions. Remotely guide the robot to the edge of the no-go zone, then tap "Set Starting Point". Guide the robot remotely around the no-go zone. The boundary will appear on the screen simultaneously. Tap "Close Boundary" when the robot returns to the starting point. Set the type of no-go zone in the app and confirm the settings. Alternatively, you can go to "Map Editing" to create or delete no-go zones after the map is finished. Areas frequently visited by animals can be designated as "Animal-Active Area" to prevent the robot from entering and ensure the safety of the animals.

Video: Guide on setting and editing no-go zones within the MOVAhome app to protect specific areas of your garden.

Add or Expand Zones

You can manage different zones easily within the app. If your lawn is separated by roads or you have several isolated lawns, you can continue creating work areas. If your garden has stone paths, designate them as separate zones. Then draw linking paths so the robot can navigate between zones. To expand an existing zone, create the area you want to include. If the two areas overlap, they will be automatically merged. You can also add, delete, or modify zones in "Map Editing" when the map is finished. You can divide a zone into smaller ones or merge zones that were divided into a larger one.

Video: Instructions for adding, expanding, dividing, and merging work zones within the MOVAhome app.

Set Paths to Connect the Charging Station to the Work Area

If your charging station is not in the work area, a path should be created to connect it to the work area. Ensure that one end is inside the work area, and the other end is right in front of the charging station. It's advisable to align the path with the charging station. Tap "Set path" to create a path that allows the robot to return to the charging station. Make sure the beginning and end of the path are in the work area. Remotely guide the robot to the zone you want to connect, then tap "Set Out Point" to finalize the path. When creating paths to connect the work area and the charging station, do not remotely dock the robot in the charging station. Otherwise, the LiDAR may be blocked, which can cause the mapping to fail.
