Satellite-guided, Husqvarna's robot mower promises to draw a checkerboard on your lawn

According to Husqvarna, a built-in camera and artificial intelligence detect and identify objects on the lawn, and the mower reacts according to what they are. The manufacturer says that, thanks to infrared light, it avoids obstacles and takes wildlife into account, even at night.

The garden boundaries are virtual and the mower locates itself by satellite. To reach centimetre-level accuracy, it receives correction data through the Husqvarna Cloud service at no extra cost, which requires mobile or Wi-Fi coverage across the whole lawn. The manufacturer then states a position accuracy that is generally better than 5 cm.

You can have it cut stripes, a checkerboard or triangles into the lawn, with a capacity of 1,500 m². For a carpet-like finish, the irregular mowing mode limits the area to 1,000 m², the page states.

As protection against theft, the machine is fitted with GPS tracking that shows its position, according to Husqvarna.
