COMPAREAustralian buying guide · Robot lawn mowers
RTK navigation needs reliable satellite visibility at the mower and reference system. Dense canopy, narrow side passages and tall buildings can create intermittent positioning even when the antenna itself has clear sky.

Research-based recommendation · catalogue evidence
Mostly flat lawns up to 800 m² where trees or buildings make antenna-free mapping appealing.
Watch: Not recommended for dense St Augustine or Zoysia grass
View product →Things to consider
Walk every mowing zone and narrow connection, not just the proposed antenna location. The mower also needs reliable positioning as it moves.
Some products combine RTK with cameras or other sensors, while others stop or wander when correction quality falls. Ask what happens during a satellite interruption.
Sticks, fruit, roots and leaf litter increase obstacle and blade demands. The lawn still needs basic clearing before unattended operation.
Product comparison
The match score measures fit against this guide's published rules (55 baseline points plus up to 42 for matched preferences). Missing prices earn no affordability points. Equal scores mean equal rule matches, not equal tested performance. Prices are dated planning evidence, not live offers.
Scores use recorded catalogue attributes, not measured performance. Budget and premium selections compare remaining brand finalists, so they are alternatives to the overall pick.

Frequently asked questions
It may work intermittently, but dense canopy can reduce reliability. Site conditions and secondary navigation matter.
Onboard LiDAR can navigate without continuous satellite lock, although reflective surfaces, clutter and mapping limits still apply.
Good vision systems can help, but lighting, rain and dirty lenses can affect performance.
