The M1 mower from URSrobot is designed for larger acreages and landscape managers with more work than people to do it. The 55-lb. unit can work alone or in fleets of multiple units.
“The M1 can mow about an acre in 6 hrs. on a single full charge of the swappable battery,” says Alok Sarna, URSrobot.
A single employee can service a fleet of M1s, swapping out the 7-lb., 28.8 Ah batteries for another 6 hrs. of unsupervised run time. Batteries have a 3-hr. recharge.
A user-friendly app and cloud management provides employees and managers real-time communication with each unit, as well as messaging and alerts. A built-in camera provides visual obstacle avoidance and is accessible through the app. The mower can be controlled through the app or with an RF control stick.
The mowers use a combination of GPS and 4G delivered RTK positioning to navigate with 3/4-in. accuracy. Features include smart technology to detect obstacles. It has 360-degree safety sensor bumpers as well as ultrasonic sensors that respond to human voices when triggered. It also features anti-theft technology that offers GPS tracing, even when the M1 has been powered off. In addition, it features tilt and rain sensors.
Mechanical features include pivot blade technology for precision cutting of grass up to 15-in. tall, reducing it to a 1 to 4-in. turf as desired. The four stainless steel blades cut a 13 3/4-in. swath. It can cut on a slope of up to 20 degrees, and the waterproof body can mow in the rain.
Once a mowing area has been defined by GPS/RTK, the M1 finds the most efficient route for mowing parallel swathes. Multiple mowers can work in one larger area or in adjacent areas. No-go areas are quickly and easily identified within the defined area.
Battery safety is another concern that URSrobot has confidence in. Sarna notes that M1 batteries are UL approved and use Tier 1 cells.
The M1 will be commercially available beginning in February. Individual units will be priced at $11,700. Sarna notes the company is seeking distributors regionally and nationally in both the U.S. and Canada.
