1.5 Sunseeker All-Scenario Positioning
RTK full-frequency satellite positioning technology assists the lawnmower in acquiring high-precision location information. Combined with VSLAM technology and Sunseeker AIR (Artificial Intelligence Recognition), the robot can perform positioning and navigation tasks in all scenarios, including complex environments, ensuring high-quality lawn maintenance at all times.
Sunseeker’s combination of advanced hardware and software (intelligent algorithms) significantly improves the mower’s environment recognition, positioning accuracy, and work performance. Mirroring a human brain, Sunseeker advanced algorithms can process information gathered from RTK (Real-Time Kinematic), VSLAM (Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping), IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), and odometers, to optimize the method of environment recognition under all sorts of conditions.
Sunseeker RTK technology, by receiving full-frequency satellite signals and conducting real-time positioning, allows users to set virtual boundaries for their lawnmowers to work without traditional boundary wires. Within the virtual boundaries, the lawnmower can plan mowing paths with high-precision and efficiency, and therefore, reach ultimate mowing coverage.
