Benefits of Husqvarna EPOS

Husqvarna EPOS, Exact Positioning Operating System, enables robotic mowers to operate within wireless boundaries with centimetre-level accuracy through RTK positioning.

Husqvarna EPOS is an ideal solution, offering flexibility and ease of use for homeowners and professionals across various settings such as football pitches, golf courses, city parks, company real estates. Paired with a reference station, it ensures precise systematic mowing in any grass area, making it suitable for locations with changing needs. Explore our range of boundary-wire-free robotic mowers for homeowners and a selection of our commercial robotic mowers.

Discover how easy it is to start using Husqvarna EPOS technology, allowing you to create virtual boundaries for work areas and stay-out zones, making your workday more efficient.

How does Husqvarna EPOS with RTK positioning work?

Husqvarna EPOS utilises satellite-based Real Time Kinematic (RTK) GNSS, which enables the creation of virtual boundaries. By utilising satellite navigation systems and at least two cooperating receivers - a reference station and a robotic mower - RTK ensures efficient mowing operations with optimal technical conditions. 

When the reference station receives its signal from the satellites, it calculates the difference between the satellites' position indication and the robotic mower's position. When the satellite signal has been corrected, the position is recalculated with centimetre-level accuracy.

Stay-out zone

Define temporary or permanent stay-out zones by using appDrive function in the mobile app to drive the robotic mower around areas that shall not be mowed.

Satellite signals

Satellite signals are received by both the robotic mower and the Reference Station. To achieve up to centimetre level accuracy a technique called RTK-GNSS is used. It enhances the precision of satellite position data.

Navigation satellites

Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) provides satellite signals to the robotic mower and the Reference Station. Both the robotic mower and the Reference Station require signals from multiple GNSS satellite systems, including GPS, BeiDou, and Galileo, among others.

Virtual boundary

Define the mower’s work area by using appDrive function in the mobile app to drive the mower around the area that shall be mowed. 

Define temporary or permanent stay-out zones by using appDrive function in the mobile app to drive the robotic mower around areas that shall not be mowed.

Correction data

Correction data from the Reference Station is required at all times to operate the mower and to keep a high level of accuracy of the robotic mower’s position.

Charging station

The place where the robotic mower automatically returns to recharge its batteries.

Reference Station

A fixed Reference Station is required to reach a high precision of the robotic mower’s position. The Reference Station broadcasts correction data to the mower. 

FAQ: Husqvarna EPOS and RTK positioning

Husqvarna EPOS achieves precise positioning through satellite-based Real RTK GNSS technology, which utilises at least two cooperating receivers - a reference station and a robotic mower. This system calculates the difference between satellite positions and the position of the robotic mower, correcting it with centimetre-level accuracy.

Through systematic mowing, possible through Husqvarna EPOS technology, grass-cutting efficiency is greatly enhanced by ensuring each blade of grass is cut only once. The systematic approach guarantees precise and methodical grass cutting, resulting in a visually appealing striped effect on the grass. Moreover, you have the option to adjust mowing patterns to suit your preferences.

To activate temporary stay-out zones with Husqvarna EPOS, you can use the app-based configuration options offered by Husqvarna Fleet Services™ and the Automower® Connect App. With these digital management tools, you can define temporary stay-out zones based on your specific needs or events, and easily activate or deactivate them as you please.
