KRESS ROBOTIC TECHNOLOGY
How Kress robotic mowing works
Kress combines network-guided positioning, intelligent navigation and model-specific cutting and traction systems. Explore the main technologies below, then speak to Groundserv about which ones are relevant to your site.
CORE TECHNOLOGY
RTKⁿ precision navigation
Precise virtual boundaries without a buried perimeter wire or an
RTK antenna installed at your property.
RTKⁿ precision navigation
Precise virtual boundaries without a buried perimeter wire or an RTK antenna installed at your property.
RTKⁿ combines satellite positioning with real-time correction data supplied through Kress's dedicated reference-station network. This enables the mower to calculate its position to centimetre-level accuracy without a local base station.
- No buried boundary wire
- No local RTK antenna, beacon or pole to install
- Virtual boundaries and accurate planned mowing routes
- Systematic coverage in parallel lines
- Precise travel between separate mowing zones
- Correction data delivered over the internet by Wi-Fi or 4G, depending on model
- Additional navigation data helps maintain routing when satellite reception is temporarily reduced
RTKⁿ network coverage and reception around the actual working area should always be checked as part of the site assessment.
EYEPILOT MODELS
Vision-based awareness
EyePilot adds camera-based awareness and sensor fusion to RTKⁿ
positioning for more complex lawn environments.
Vision-based awareness
EyePilot adds camera-based awareness and sensor fusion to RTKⁿ positioning for more complex lawn environments.
EyePilot combines RTKⁿ positioning with vision AI, visual localisation, inertial sensing and wheel odometry. The different sources of information work together to maintain an accurate understanding of the mower's position.
- Recognises lawn and distinguishes it from surrounding hard surfaces
- Detects and avoids objects that do not belong on the lawn
- Treats fallen leaves as ground cover rather than unnecessary obstacles
- Maintains navigation near trees, walls, buildings and shaded areas
- Automatic, assisted or app-based lawn mapping options
- Structured mowing for stripes or random mowing for a more natural finish
- Accurate routing through narrow areas and between separate lawn zones
- Front lighting supports vision in lower-light conditions on applicable models

ZeroTrim edge cutting
A dedicated edge-cutting system designed to reduce the amount of
follow-up trimming required around suitable lawn boundaries.
ZeroTrim edge cutting
A dedicated edge-cutting system designed to reduce the amount of follow-up trimming required around suitable lawn boundaries.
ZeroTrim cuts closer to compatible lawn edges than a conventional centrally positioned robotic cutting system. It can substantially reduce routine strimming where the lawn and boundary arrangement allow it.
- Reduces missed grass along suitable hard edges
- Helps reduce repetitive manual finishing work
- Standard on selected EyePilot models
- Available as an option for other compatible EyePilot models
Some raised, recessed or obstructed boundaries will still require manual finishing. Groundserv can assess the actual edges during a demonstration.
EYEPILOT 4×4 MODELS
Traction for difficult terrain
Four driven wheels, articulated geometry and controlled steering
help the mower remain stable on slopes and uneven ground.
Traction for difficult terrain
Four driven wheels, articulated geometry and controlled steering help the mower remain stable on slopes and uneven ground.
The EyePilot 4×4 range is designed for sites where traction, changes in level and ground contours are an important part of the decision.
- Four-motor drivetrain with real-time torque control
- Independent axles keep the wheels in contact with changing ground
- Articulated body follows slopes and contours
- Self-levelling cutting system helps maintain a consistent cutting plane
- True front-wheel steering supports controlled turns with less turf disturbance
- Handles raised edges and transitions up to 6 cm on applicable models
- Kress specifies capability on slopes up to 84% (approximately 40°) for applicable 4×4 models
Maximum published slope capability is not a substitute for assessing the surface, transitions, traction and safe route across the real site.
COMMERCIAL RTKⁿ MODELS
OAS and commercial productivity
Commercial models combine obstacle avoidance with systematic mowing
and management features for larger sites.

- MAP mowing-action planning and dynamic route adjustment
- Multi-zone navigation and travel between turf areas
- Electronic cutting-height adjustment on relevant models
- Self-levelling cutting disc
- Regenerative braking on relevant models
- Fleet-management capability on specified commercial machines
