Robotic lawn mowers

Fairways and rough, mowed on schedule.

Autonomous mowers cut on mapped routes around play, then drive back to charge. We set them up and service them.

What it is

A robotic lawn mower cuts golf fairways and rough on its own. It follows a mapped route on a schedule set around play, then drives back to charge. Service Robot Co. maps the course, sets up every mower, and services it under RoboCare™. Courses lease the mowers through financing.

Two kinds of mower share the work. Reel mowers cut the fairways with the finish a fairway needs. Compact mowers take the rough, the slopes, and the edges around bunkers.

The hard part is fitting them into a course week: mapping every hole, marking no-go areas, siting the chargers, and keeping them running. That is the part we own. Greens, tees, and detail work stay with your crew.

What it does

Everything the unit does, in plain terms.

No spec-sheet fog. This is the job the robot takes off your team.

Cuts fairways on a mapped route

Reel cutting units leave the striped finish golfers expect, pass after pass.

Takes the rough and slopes

Compact mowers keep the rough even beside fairways, lakes, and bunkers.

Mows around play

Your superintendent sets the hours. The mowers work holes that are clear of golfers.

Drives back to charge

When a job is done or the battery runs low, the mower returns to its charger on its own.
