Modern robot lawn mowers have moved beyond boundary wires to rely on GPS paired with Real‑Time Kinematic (RTK) beacons for centimeter‑level accuracy. Companies such as Husqvarna explain how RTK tells satellites "I'm always here," allowing the mower to correct GPS drift. Design factors like cutting width, camera‑based obstacle detection, and scheduling features affect how well these devices handle narrow paths, nighttime operation, and weather delays. Real‑world testing revealed challenges with obstacles like trampolines, tree roots, and pets, while GPS coverage varies between suburban and urban settings. Overall, the technology offers reliable mowing with some human oversight needed. Read more →

Modern robot lawn mowers have moved beyond boundary wires, using GPS paired with real‑time kinematic (RTK) beacons for centimeter‑level accuracy. Husqvarna’s Scott Porteous explains how RTK corrects satellite data, while models from Eufy, Yarbo, Segway and Sunseeker each bring unique cutting widths, camera systems and scheduling features. Field testing revealed strengths in navigation and weather‑aware scheduling, but challenges remain with narrow paths, obstacles and nighttime operation. Overall, the technology offers impressive convenience, though users may still need occasional human oversight to address missed spots. Read more →
