AI and Obstacle Detection in Commercial Robot Lawn Mowers: What Has Changed?
Robot lawn mowers have come a long way. Today, some models can do much more than simply follow a set route around a lawn. They can use satellite navigation, cameras, sonar and other sensors to help them move around the area and respond to obstacles. For businesses and grounds managers, these features are making the commercial robot lawn mower a more practical option for maintaining large green spaces. Smarter Obstacle Detection Obstacle detection is an important part of modern robotic mowing. JFHanley’s range includes models that use different systems to detect objects in the mower’s path. The ECHO TM-850S, for example, uses two sonar units for obstacle detection. It is designed for areas of up to 30,000 m² and can operate on slopes of up to 30%. The mower is designed for football pitches, golf courses, sports fields, parks and other green spaces. Larger ECHO models also use sonar. The TM-2050 has five sonar units and is designed for areas of up to 75,000 m². It can wo...
