A practical install day walkthrough for a wire-free robot mower: a pre-install checklist, dock and RTK antenna siting, the first mapping run, and a troubleshooting table for what usually goes wrong.

A robot mower is four subsystems working together: mapping, positioning, cutting and docking. Here is what each one actually does, what it depends on, and how the machine behaves when one of them degrades.
Robot mowers differ less in how they cut than in how they know where they are. A straight comparison of perimeter wire, RTK GNSS and vision-based VSLAM, including what each one needs from your property and where each one fails.
