They Can Turn Any Mower Into A Robot
 ✖  |
Commercial landscape companies will soon have robotic mowers to use without needing to buy new mowers. Electric Sheep Robotics says its hardware clamps onto any new or existing ride-on mower. Once in place, the hardware and software offer practically unlimited options for mowing patterns without an operator on board.
“After the robotic attachment is mounted, a given area is mowed normally,” explains Gunjit Singh, company co-founder. “The pattern is recorded, and when replayed, the mower will repeat the pattern. Multiple patterns can be recorded and are then available for replay. Alternatively, if there are few obstacles in the area, two strips mowed around the border allow the mower to automatically fill in the remaining area in a variety of patterns.”
The new robotic mower uses LIDAR, cameras, GPS and ultrasonic sensors for ultra-precise maneuvering across diverse terrain. The software retains past patterns and is automatically upgraded.
“With the laser radar, it can stop within an inch of an obstacle and then mow around it,” says Singh.
Electric Sheep Robotics was founded in late 2019 and only recently announced itself. It has quickly captured interest from investors and prospective users.
Company co-founder Nag Murty is confident the labor shortage in the landscape market will drive demand. “If we were to stop acquiring customers today and just expand among the ones who are signed on with us, we would have hundreds of millions in annual revenue in a few years.”
Robotic mowers are just the start. The company also plans to adapt the technology to snow removal, sweeping and more.
