No perimeter wire. No trench around the lawn. So how does a robotic mower know where to mow?
Modern wire-free robotic mowers can use satellite positioning, mapping, cameras and other navigation technologies to operate within configured mowing areas instead of relying on a traditional perimeter wire.
The exact navigation system depends on the mower.
At SmartYard, we work with robotic mowing systems from Kress and Segway Navimow, and selecting the right technology involves more than choosing the mower with the longest feature list.
Trees, buildings, narrow side yards, separate lawn areas, slopes, obstacles and the overall property layout can all matter when planning a reliable robotic mowing setup.
A properly planned system can create defined mowing areas, navigate the property, return for charging, and continue maintaining the lawn according to its configured schedule.
