How to perform initial mapping in the RoboUP App?

RoboUP - 2025/05/15

The App's basic installation guide will pop up in case you want to add a new device to your account. The Installation guide's STEP 3: Create A Virtual Map will guide you through the creation of a map.

The specific steps are as follows:

1) Create a Virtual Map: Tap [Step 3: Create a Virtual Map] to enter the mapping page.

2) Create zone 1: Tap [Create zone 1]. Enter the [Manual Mapping] page and read the prompts to learn how to create a map. Then click [Got it] to enter the [Preparations] page to check whether the conditions for first map are met: mower is in the Charging Station, mower has more than 30% battery, GPS/RTK is √, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth signal good. If the conditions are met, click [Next] to enter the map controller page.

a. Manual Mapping: If the garden has NO physical borders, manual mapping is required.( If needed, install the ruler from the package). Once the mower has finished calibration and reaches the boundary of the lawn, tap [Start ] to start mapping. use the two thumb slide controllers to manually steer the mower, generating a boundary along the edges. After the mower has almost fully returned to the Starting point, wait for the pop-up window and tap [Save] or just tap [Complete] and [Save] to save the boundary map.

I. When manual mapping, you can click the speed icon in the upper right corner to adjust the speed of the remote control.

b. Auto Mapping: If the garden has physical borders (fences, walls, etc.), you can choose to use the auto mapping function. When the mower detects the physical boundary, the [Auto] button will light up. Click the [Auto] icon in the top-right corner to switch to auto mapping. If the mower cannot detect the boundary, it will stop. In that case, click the [Manual] icon in the top-right corner to switch to manual mapping.

c. Ride-on Boundary: When manual mapping, if the lawn boundary is flat ground, you can choose the Ride-on mode to create a ride-on boundary. Then, during mowing, the mower can ride on this boundary, which improves edge mowing performance. After entering the mapping controller page, the default mode is edge mode, but you can switch to Ride-on mode by selecting the icon on the right side of the screen. A pop-up about the ride-on boundary will appear, click [next] and [Got it] to proceed. In Ride-on mode, the boundary you create will be displayed in orange.

3.1 More Than One Lawn Area

1) If there is more than one lawn area, after the first area is built, tap [Yes] on the pop-up page to create the boundaries of the other areas. Wait to check whether the mapping conditions are met: mower has more than 30% battery, GPS/RTK is √, and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth signal is good. After confirming, click [Next] to enter the mapping controller page. Repeat the above mapping operation

3.2 Map Erasing

Note: This function currently supports Manual Mapping only. If the mower encounters issues following the boundary, you may need to make adjustments. Activate this function and steer the mower to the boundary’s starting point that needs to be modified.

1) On the Manual mapping page, tap the [Eraser] icon on the top right corner to enter the map modification page. Use thumb sliders “up/down - left/right” to steer the mower.   

2) Once the mower has reached a point of the boundary that you want to modify, tap [Done]. This part of the boundary will be erased. Continue now to create a corrected map.

3.3 Create a Passage

Once a secondary boundary has been mapped, you need to create a passage to link it with the first zone (assuming that a proper physical pathway exists). After that, tap [Yes] on the pop-up prompt [Please create a passage to connect the two zones].

1) Enter the [Passage] page to learn about passage-related information. Then click [Got it] to enter the [Preparations] page.

2) Wait to confirm if the following conditions are met: mower has more than 30% battery, GPS/RTK is √, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth signal good. Once the conditions are confirmed, tap [Next] to enter the zone overview page. Use thumb sliders “forward/backward” and “left/right” and steer the mower to the starting point of the passage.

3) Now tap [Start] and use thumb sliders to steer the mower trough the physical passage to link the two zones on the map. When the mower reaches another zone, a pop-up message will appear. Click [Save] to save the passage, or tap [Complete] to save the passage.

3.4 Finish the Mapping

If there are any objects (pool, flower bed, sandbox, etc.) that you need to protect from the mower, tap [No-Go Zone] to create “No-Go Zones”. Once all boundaries, passages, and “No-Go Zones” have been created, tap [Save] to finish mapping. The next page shows a recommended mowing schedule. In order to overwrite it and set your own timetable, tap [Schedule Mowing].
