epos WIRELESS TECHNOLOGY

The Husqvarna EPOS wireless robotic mowing system is the next generation technology for the industry. Through the use of GNSS Satellites and RTK correction, the limitations of wired installations can become a thing of the past.

wHAT IS EPOS?

EPOS (Exact Positioning Operating System) from Husqvarna marks one of the biggest changes in robotic mowing since its inception. EPOS uses a mix of cell and RTK networks to communicate with the mower. What does this mean? This means no more burried boundary or guide wires and no more pesky breaks mid-season. Currently, nearly every robotic mower on the market uses the “invisible fence” approach to define the lawn shape and various obstacles.

“…no more burried boundary or guide wires and no more pesky breaks mid-season.”

With this new, revolutionary technology making its way to the consumer market, we expect it to open a lot of doors for installation and lawn coverage. The ability to have multiple mowers, saved areas, quick and easy editing all lead to a more versatile means of robotic mowing. And we couldn’t be more excited about this.

HOW IT WORKS

REFRENCE STATION

The reference station component of EPOS utilizes RTK (Real Time Kinematics) to provide GPS correction data from a fixed point near the robotic mower. Traditional GPS does not provide the accuracy needed to the robot, but the reference station is able to ensure the unit is accurate within 2-3 cm when properly mounted and clear of obstructions.

The reference station is sold separate from EPOS mower units. Multiple EPOS units are able to use the same reference station for GPS correction. It is also possible to use multiple reference stations to expand the working area for large scale, multi-unit installs. This means there is no limit to the size of a working area other than the mowers battery and capability.

ROBOTIC MOWER

The robotic mowing technology of the unit is almost identical to the current generation of mowers provided by Husqvarna. It maintains all cutting, collision, safety and other systems as the traditional wired units.

The key difference is in how it is installed and how that installation is modified. Without the burried wire, adjustments to working areas can be made quickly and with far less effort than other models. One downside to keep in mind is that this means the installation area has to meet more requirements for an effective installation.

AUTOMOWER CONNECT

EPOS relies on the companion app for initial setup, monitoring and modification. Since there is no physical boundary wire to determine the working area, virtual boundaries for working areas, stay-out-zones and transport paths are setup via app connection.

During setup, the mower is driven through the app as you walk the installation area that will eventually be the mowers working areas. In addition to where you want to mow, you can easily set areas that it should stay out of as well as the transport paths that tell the mower how to access the working areas from its charging station.
