Between now and spring 2021 Belrobotics plans to officially launch the GPS RTK versions of its professional robotic mowers Bigmow and Parcmow as well as its robotic golf ball picker, the Ballpicker<\/a>. Although this technology already exists and was tested some ten years ago, it has only recently gained full maturity, reaching a cost that is extremely attractive to its users<\/p>\n

For three years Belrobotics has been developing and testing GPS versions of its robotic mowers <\/strong>in as many situations as possible. 30 prototypes have thus traveled different grounds between Belgium, the Netherlands and the United States. The first feedback turns out to be extremely positive.<\/p>\n

The benefits of the GPS robotic mowers<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Obviously, integrating GPS technology in robotic mowers<\/strong> is not at all trivial. This has an impact on the price of the models, but the various benefits definitely compensate the initial cost.<\/p>\n

\u00a0An accelerated cut<\/strong><\/h3>\n

A traditional robotic mower does not cut straight up and down but at random. Mowing a whole ground thus becomes a time-consuming activity, since the robotic mower will sometimes pass over zones that have already been mown. Robotic mowers with GPS guidance<\/strong> are now able to smoothly cut in a linear way. Thanks to this development they can cut up to three times more surface in the same timespan<\/u><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The robots can reach a cutting speed equivalent to that of a conventional tractor-mower without human intervention. A Belrobotics robot is capable of cutting up to 3 football pitches<\/strong> in a single day. In another order of magnitude, a standard Bigmow is needed to cut 2 football pitches. The smallest model, the Parcmow RTK, can now perform this task within the same timeframe.<\/p>\n

\u00a0A more accurate cut<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Considering the GPS function in your phone or car, you could say that precision is far from perfect and that your future GPS mower<\/strong> might as well end up where it should not be. Rest assured, RTK technology offers razor-sharp surgical precision<\/strong> within 3 to 5 centimetres<\/strong>. This allows the different models to mow a field in long and nice straight lines without leaving any visible marks. The ideal solution if you desire a field mown to perfection.<\/p>\n

How does it work?<\/h2>\n
