The Hybrid Mowing Robot is an innovative technology in the field of modern horticulture. It combines electric and internal combustion engine drive systems to efficiently and intelligently complete lawn maintenance tasks. Its core lies in advanced navigation and positioning technologies, which ensure that the robot can accurately and efficiently complete mowing tasks. The following will introduce the working principle of the navigation and positioning technology of the hybrid mowing robot in detail.

1. Basic components of navigation and positioning technology
The hybrid mowing robot mainly relies on the following technologies to achieve accurate navigation and positioning.
Global Positioning System: GPS technology helps the robot determine its position on the lawn through satellite signals. The robot is equipped with a high-precision GPS receiver that can provide centimeter-level positioning accuracy. The GPS system draws a lawn map for the robot, plans the mowing path, and ensures the robot's efficient operation.
Lidar: Lidar is a technology that creates a three-dimensional model of the environment by emitting laser beams and measuring their reflection time. Lidar can scan the lawn in real time, detect and identify obstacles such as trees, stones and flower beds. This technology provides the robot with detailed environmental data to help it perform intelligent obstacle avoidance and path planning.
Ultrasonic sensor: Ultrasonic sensors use sound waves to detect the distance of obstacles ahead. By emitting ultrasonic waves and receiving their reflections, the robot can sense the distance to obstacles. This technology is particularly effective in low light or bad weather conditions, providing additional obstacle avoidance protection.
Visual sensor: Visual sensors are used to capture and analyze image data of the lawn. Image recognition technology can help the robot identify different areas of the lawn, determine the density and height of the lawn, and thus optimize the mowing strategy.

2. Working principle of navigation and positioning technology
The hybrid mowing robot achieves accurate navigation and positioning through the following steps.
Environmental modeling: The robot uses lidar and visual sensors to scan the lawn and create a three-dimensional model of the environment. This model includes the terrain, obstacles and other key features of the lawn. Environmental modeling provides the robot with comprehensive lawn data, which helps its subsequent path planning and obstacle detection.
Path planning: Based on the environmental model, the robot calculates the optimal mowing route through built-in path planning algorithms. These algorithms take into account the shape of the lawn, the layout of obstacles and the preset mowing strategy to generate an efficient mowing path. The goal of path planning is to achieve efficient mowing while avoiding repeated operations and missing areas.
Real-time positioning: The robot updates its position information in real time through GPS, LiDAR and ultrasonic sensors during operation. Real-time positioning ensures that the robot can accurately drive on the lawn and adjust its route according to environmental changes. This real-time feedback mechanism improves the accuracy and efficiency of mowing.
Obstacle avoidance: When the robot detects an obstacle, LiDAR and ultrasonic sensors will provide the location information of the obstacle. The robot will automatically adjust its route based on this information to bypass the obstacle. The intelligent obstacle avoidance system can reduce damage to the lawn and obstacles and improve the safety and stability of the robot.

3. Technical advantages
The navigation and positioning technology of the hybrid mowing robot brings many advantages.
Improve work efficiency: Through precise path planning and real-time positioning, the robot can efficiently complete the mowing task on the lawn. It avoids repeated operations and omissions in traditional manual mowing, thereby improving overall work efficiency.
Intelligent obstacle avoidance: LiDAR and ultrasonic sensors provide real-time obstacle detection and avoidance functions, reducing damage to the lawn and obstacles. The robot can flexibly respond to various environmental changes to ensure the continuity and safety of operations.
Precise positioning: The GPS system provides the robot with high-precision positioning capabilities, enabling it to accurately perform mowing tasks. Precise positioning not only optimizes the operation path, but also supports the robot to draw and maintain lawn maps.
Adapt to multiple environments: The navigation system combined with multiple sensors enables the robot to work stably in different environmental conditions, including low light, rain and snow. This environmental adaptability expands the robot's range of use and improves reliability.

The hybrid mowing robot achieves precise navigation and positioning by integrating GPS, lidar, ultrasonic sensors and visual sensors. Its advanced navigation technology not only improves work efficiency, but also provides intelligent obstacle avoidance functions, ensuring efficient and safe mowing operations. The application of these technologies makes the hybrid mowing robot an important tool in modern lawn maintenance and promotes the advancement of gardening technology.
