The lawn mower market is vast, and robotic lawn mowers are gradually becoming the main development direction of the lawn mower industry due to their characteristics of simple operation, high efficiency, increased safety, decreased noise, and high intelligence. Positioning, navigation and obstacle avoidance are the key points of robotic lawn mowers.
Fusion positioning technology, such as RTK+ultrasonic/IMU/vision, is one of the mainstream technologies for lawn mowers at present. The fusion of RTK technology and various sensors can provide accurate position information up to centimeter level in real time, allows for the generation of a virtual lawn line, route planning, and obstacle avoidance. In robotic lawn mowers applications which utilize precise RTK positioning solution, antenna is the key part. Kinvey provides high-precision GNSS antennas and high performance wireless data links that are customized and easy to be integrated, meeting the needs of high-precision positioning, communication and miniaturization of robotic lawn mowers
