Abstract
Systems and methods of defining a boundary of a work region are provided. The work region may be an area in which an autonomous vehicle (e.g., mower) may operate after boundary definition. The vehicle may initially be moved along a path around a work region, and geographic locations periodically recorded. Upon approaching an earlier geographic location, a controller associated with the vehicle may close the boundary (to form an enclosed area) upon sensing return or proximity to the earlier geographic location.
