Guide to Robotic Automower

Robotic lawn mowers have revolutionized lawn care, offering automated and efficient grass cutting solutions.

There are two main types of automowers: wire boundary and GPS-guided systems. Both types of automowers share common features such as automatic recharging, scheduling capabilities, and smartphone app control. The choice between wire boundary and GPS-guided systems depends on factors like garden layout, budget, and personal preferences.

Wire Boundary Automowers

Wire boundary automowers are the most common and traditional type of robotic lawn mowers. They operate within a defined area marked by a perimeter wire

Key features:

  • Boundary wire installation: A copper wire is buried or pegged around the lawn’s perimeter.
  • Signal detection: The mower detects the electromagnetic signal from the wire to stay within the defined boundaries.
  • Cutting patterns: They may use random or systematic mowing patterns within the boundary.


Wire boundary automowers are generally more affordable and work well in areas with poor GPS reception or simple single zone garden layouts.

GPS-Guided Automowers

GPS-guided automowers are a newer technology that eliminates the need for physical boundary wires.Key features:

  • Satellite navigation: Uses GPS to create a virtual map of the lawn.
  • Wireless operation: No need for perimeter or guide wires.
  • Flexible boundaries: Allows for easy adjustment of mowing areas via smartphone apps.
  • Obstacle detection: Many models incorporate sensors to avoid obstacles.

 

GPS-guided automowers offer greater flexibility and easier setup, but may be more expensive and can struggle in areas with poor GPS signal, heavy tree cover or limited mobile coverage.
