=Introduction=

Nowadays there is technology and smart devices everywhere around us. Almost no one could imagine living without his Smartphone, Smart-TV or other devices. So it became even normal, that 'roboter' vacuum our flat or cut the grass in our garden without any need of active human participation. This article and simulation will be about these Lawn Mower Roboters and how they can move efficiently through our gardens.

=Problem definition=

But even if all these smart tools and devices can be so helpful and save us much time, there is always the aspect of consuming power. It should always be the goal of a device to consume as little energy as possible, because on the one hand the owner saves money and on the other hand it more environment friendly. So, this is the goal of this simulation: to find the most efficient algorithm for the Lawn Mower Roboter regarding the power consumption.

=Method=

Regarding the shown tools during this semester for simulations, NetLogo 6.1.1 was chosen for this simulation because of the ability to visualize this kind of simulation.

=Model=

==The Setup==

The field of the simulation is 20x20 patches large. There are three kinds of agents: the robot, the station and trees. These agents are placed when the setup button is pressed. The station is the place where the robot starts his moving and the place where it goes back after finishing it. It is always placed at the patch with the highest x- and y-coordinate and marked as a red patch. Trees are seen as obstacles for the robot and placed randomly and the patch is coloured with a bright brown (brown + 3).

==Parameters==

All these parameters can be changed by the user through input fields.

===Amount of trees===

The number of trees that should be placed in the field.

===Cutting_length===

The ‘amount’ of grass that is cut when the robot lawns a patch once. In fact, it is the number that the green of the patch gets brighter when the robot steps on it once. It can not be higher than the difference of Min_height and Max_height.

===Min_height/Max_Height===

The minimum/maximum height of grass that is wished by the user. In fact, these are the numbers that are added to the color green. Because of the limitations of colors, they can not be higher than 4 or less than -4 and of course the Max_height has to be less or at least equal to Min_height. (Note: Subtracting a number of a color makes it darker.)
