…crews operate on the principle of efficiency. But monotonous mowing tasks take away from time that they can spend performing detail tasks, such as edging and trimming or managing planters. Scythe Robotics developed its autonomous commercial mower, the M.52, to help landscapers improve their operational efficiency. With support from Scythe’s engineers, implementation team, and customer support services, landscapers can automate mowing large areas, gaining back time to complete detail work. From machine testing to customer deployment training Kali Hamilton, field robotics engineer at Scythe, said field service is primarily focused on the mechanical and electrical health of M.52 robots, but…

…reasoning and planning for both its RAM robot for mowing and its Verdie robot used for edging, trimming lawns and bushes, and blowing leaves. To accomplish these tasks ES-1 needs to understand the semantics of the world, create a map that can be used for coverage planning and highlight the edges of the workable area. In this case, trimming, edging or mowing grass are the integral areas. ES1 achieves this through dense prediction of a world state with a single model - similar to ChatGPT for language - but for spatial AI. The robots are designed to be put on…
