Best RTK robot mowers

Satellite-guided mowers with centimetre-level positioning, ranked on navigation and how much hardware you have to site.

RTK corrects satellite positioning down to centimetres, which is what makes systematic parallel mowing possible instead of bouncing around at random. The catch is the reference station: some systems need an antenna mounted with a clear view of the sky, and some do not. Ease of use is weighted heavily here for exactly that reason.
