Robotic Mowers Hitting The Market

Husqvarna

The Automower® 430X is a robotic mower that provides perfect lawns 24/7. Designed for medium- to large-sized yards up to .8 acres, the Automower® features cutting-edge technology and an intuitive interface. Obstacles and tight spaces are no sweat and thanks to innovative weather resistance, the Automower works in the rain, too. The 430X model comes with Automower® Connect, featuring an onboard GPS system that creates a map of the lawn, including where the boundary and guide wires are installed. Husqvarna Automower® will then register which parts of the lawn it has covered and adjusts its mowing pattern accordingly. The 430X also features theft tracking, along with LED lights. The 430X carries an MSRP of $2,499.99.

Greenzie

Greenzie adds self-driving to commercial zero turn mowers to reduce the labor cost of lawn maintenance. OEMs (such as Wright Manufacturing and Mean Green Mowers) equip Robotic Ready™ machines at the factory with Autonomous Mowing, enabling commercial landscaper fleets to utilize robotic workers on their crews, complete with dealer support.

As an add-on feature to mowers, usage is simple: A crew member mows the outer boundary and then simply turns on Autonomous Mowing to let the robotic worker stripe the inner area. While the mower cuts autonomously, the crew can manually address any detailed areas (flower beds, edges). Good properties for autonomous mowing now are sports fields, large flat turf areas, warehouses, military bases, fields and office parks with open areas.
