Abstract： In order to solve the problem of covering the lawn area by the intelligent mower with no function of navigation，a regional all-covered algorithm by decomposing the target area and covering one by one was presented. Firstly the regional all-covered strategy was introduced，then the cell decomposition algorithm was selected as a region-wide coverage of the overall strategy based on the hardware conditions of the mower，and the walking way of back and forth was used for each sub-area. A detailed description of the off-line algorithm for full coverage was presented to the region with no obstacle and two obstacles，and the algorithm for region with obstacles was promoted and improved. The regional all-covered algorithm for a circular area with two circular obstacles was tested based on Matlab. The experimental results show that the regional all-covered algorithm presented can achieve the best coverage of the target lawn area.
