STIGA BRINGS AUTONOMOUS MOWING INNOVATION TO BRITISH GARDENS

With the focus shifting to that of environmentally friendly ways of caring for our gardens and lawns, new innovation and design has come to the fore at STIGA.

This year the team has brought cablefree and intelligent garden care to gardeners in the UK with their brandnew autonomous robot range. At the heart of these machines are the ease of use, benefits both to lawns and nature, and the energy efficiency of the design. With its new robots, STIGA aims to solve some of the most common problems of normal robot mowers, for example: loss of GPS signal, blocked radio signals, lawn damage due to over-mowing.

NO-CABLE

With no need to lay cable in your lawn, you can simply use the App to drive the robot mower around the perimeter of your lawn and any obstacles within it. You do it once and it remembers every detail. Because it is virtual, it is hassle free to adjust if the layout of the garden should change should you add a pond, bush, or garden furniture.

Ags Rtk Gps Using Cloud Based 4g Signals

These autonomous robots are the first to bring predictive AGS technology to gardens, ensuring organised and always smooth mowing, even on complex and challenging lawns. They are able to cover all zones of the lawn, avoiding over-mowing by passing several times in the same area, for an even and beautiful lawn every time. The patented STIGA Active Guidance System (AGS) enhances the GPS RTK signal reliability by using 4G to transmit the vital course correction data. This means the link between robot and base remains reliable, no matter what obstacles or distance lies between the base and robot. The system learns satellite blind spots throughout the garden at various times of the day, ensuring that the robot has an unbroken link to the infrastructure that allows it to navigate with the high accuracy required.

Caring For The Lawn

By using accurate navigation, the robot can cover the lawn significantly more efficiently. This means less cutting time when compared to a random navigation robot. Less cutting time allows the plant time to heal between cutting schedules. This way the grass stays healthier.

Caring For Nature

By designing high efficiency robots that are able to manage cutting session during daylight hours, STIGA have ensured that nocturnal animals such as hedgehogs can safely occupy the garden overnight.

Energy Efficiency

Because the Stiga ePower systems are so efficient, this in turn offers a much more sustainable way of lawn and garden care. It goes without saying that the longer the battery time, the less charging time is needed. The unique ePower system ensures longer battery life and excellent energy-efficiency by running longer between charges, so the lawn is properly cared for in just two cutting cycles per day, although allowing maximum flexibility on sessions’ scheduling , with little chance of over-mowing. This also means more time for the grass to recover and stay healthy. By introducing systematic cutting: with multiple mowing patterns and direction settings, autonomous robot mowers can cultivate healthier, lusher lawns.

The new autonomous robots, A 1500, A 3000 and A 500, will be available from March 1st from authorised robot dealers and the STIGA website: www.stiga.com/uk
