Application of RTK Tech in Robot Lawn Mower
Mowsion is a developer and manufacturer of robot lawn mowers, we will share some knowledge about the robot lawn mower. We will explain the principle, the advantages, and disadvantages of RTK tech today. Please check the complete blog at our website: https://www.mowsion.com/blog
Why can't civilian satellite positioning technology eliminate the perimeter wire of robot lawn mower?
When you use mobile phone positioning, you can know that the general error of civilian satellite positioning tech is within 5 meters, and the robot lawn mower that only uses satellite positioning tech may exceed the boundary limit too much during the operation. Therefore, civilian satellite positioning tech cannot meet the positioning needs of robot lawn mowers.
Advantages of RTK tech:
1. It helps the robot lawn mower to locate accurately, therefore, the robot lawn mower can get rid of the installation and maintenance problems caused by the perimeter wire.
Disadvantages of RTK tech:
1. RTK signals will be affected by other signal sources, such as high-voltage lines, airline, and iron towers.
2. RTK signals are easily blocked by obstacles. If it is affected by tall tree canopies and buildings, RTK tech cannot work well.
