Industry News | Covering 8 mainstream scenarios, why are all smart lawn mowers equipped with RTK positioning?

Release Time:2026/8/20 10:37:15



With the continuous rise in labor costs and the rapid popularization of unmanned technology, intelligent lawn mowing and unmanned weeding are no longer "fresh toys" in courtyards - from lawn maintenance in private villas, to green maintenance in municipal parks, from weed control in orchards and fields, to high-risk scene operation and maintenance in photovoltaic power plants and riverbank slopes, the entire industry is accelerating the use of machines to replace manual labor.

Behind the continuous heating up of the track,The shortcomings of positioning ability are becoming increasingly prominent:Many devices appear to be feature rich, but when it comes to actual working conditions, they become "disconnected" and "usable but not easy to use" has become a common problem for device manufacturers and end customers.

The common pain points in the industry are also very prominent:Once under the shade of trees, the positioning drifts, making it easy for slope operations to deviate, resulting in frequent missed cutting, heavy cutting, and accidental damage to crops; The traditional buried wire scheme is cumbersome to construct and difficult to maintain in the later stage, which has become the core bottleneck restricting the large-scale implementation of intelligent lawn mowers.

ButRTK high-precision positioning technologyThe mature implementation is the key to cracking this series of pain points. With centimeter level positioning accuracy and stable performance in complex environments, RTK is becoming the "standard navigation brain" for the new generation of intelligent lawn mowing and weeding equipment, providing comprehensive coverageEight core application scenarios.


01


Agricultural field


The category is the most diverse, including four major models: heavy-duty inter row mechanical weeding, high gap cross ridge weeding, seedling lightweight wheel weeding, and high-power laser weeding platform. The mechanical model relies on RTK to accurately replicate the sowing ridge line, strictly distinguishing between weeds and seedlings, and will not crush crops; The laser weeding machine relies on RTK to continuously output stable 3D coordinates, combined with AI vision to target and burn weeds, with no pesticide residue throughout the process. It is suitable for high value-added planting bases such as organic food and traditional Chinese medicine, and can achieve 24-hour large-scale unmanned operation in contiguous fields.





02


Household Private Courtyard


Segmenting flat four-wheel standard lawn mowers, climbing track lawn mowers, etc., RTK can generate virtual electronic fences with just one click, without the need for pre embedded cables, and automatically navigate around flower beds, landscape shrubs, and rockery obstacles; The floating knife arm model is equipped with high-precision positioning, and there are no blind spots in the trimming of corners and wall gaps. The large villa solar model can operate autonomously for a long time.




03


Orchard understory economy


It is divided into four types of equipment: low and narrow track weeding robots, mountain anti-skid terrace weeding machines, high gap fruit orchard weeding machines, and rotary tillage weeding integrated machines. The narrow rows of fruit trees and the year-round obstruction of satellite signals by tree crowns make it easy for ordinary positioning to deviate; RTK+IMU combined navigation continuously outputs precise walking trajectories in shaded environments. Mechanical weeding does not damage tree roots and fruits, while rotary tillage machines synchronously complete weeding and inter row soil loosening. There is no drift during the entire process of slope terrace operations.




04


Commercial real estate and industrial parks


Covering three types of models: lightweight four-wheel small lawn mowers, zero turning tree array dedicated lawn mowers, and wide and efficient park weeding equipment. Scattered green plots and dense shrubs and trees in industrial parks and commercial complexes; RTK supports the storage of electronic maps for multiple plots of land, allowing for one click switching between different green areas. The zero turn bending machine can flexibly navigate through tree gaps, reducing repetitive pruning and adapting to long-term unmanned landscape maintenance in hotels, factories, and resorts.




05


Professional sports field


Includes professional lawn mowers with multiple disc cutters for golf courses, wide disc cutters for football fields, and precision trimming robots for sports field corners. Competitive lawns have the highest requirements in the industry for trimming smoothness and trajectory repeatability; RTK millimeter level repetitive walking trajectory ensures uniform and consistent trimming height of the entire lawn. The corner trimming robot accurately handles small areas around the holes and stands, creating a high standard professional competitive lawn.




06


Municipal public greening


It is divided into large wide wheeled unmanned lawn mowers, independent suspension off-road weeding robots for the countryside, and small flexible lawn mowing equipment for green belts. Urban parks and riverside green spaces have vast areas and irregular land boundaries; RTK automatically plans the optimal operation path for full coverage, achieving no missed or duplicated cuts; The off-road model is suitable for urban suburban undulating green spaces and gentle slope parks, significantly reducing the cost of municipal manual maintenance.



07


Special working conditions of slope water conservancy


All models adopt widened anti-skid track type, divided into two categories: riverbank dam weeding machines and lightweight weeding robots for highway slope protection. The slope has large undulations and no ground reference, making it easy for ordinary positioning to cross the boundary and fall off the slope; RTK can stably lock the operating boundary in steep slope environments, with heavy machinery clearing large areas of slope protection and weeds, and small and lightweight equipment handling narrow embankment landscape belts, achieving unmanned operation in high-risk scenarios throughout the process and avoiding the risks of manual high-altitude operations.




08


Photovoltaic energy station


It is divided into two mainstream equipment: photovoltaic array row track weeding machine and mountain photovoltaic climbing specialized weeding robot. The metal array of photovoltaic brackets is densely packed, severely blocking satellite signals; RTK is equipped with strong anti-interference algorithms and inertial navigation positioning, maintaining centimeter level positioning in the environment of bracket obstruction. The equipment accurately weeds along the array rows to avoid weeds blocking the photovoltaic panels and affecting power generation efficiency. It is suitable for long-term operation and maintenance of various photovoltaic power stations in plains and mountains.
