Quectel Wireless Solutions, a global IoT solutions provider, has announced its collaboration with Zucchetti Centro Sistemi (ZCS) to enhance robotic lawnmowers. Specifically, ZCS will integrate Quectel's LG69T series GNSS module and the ZCS Cloud Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) satellite navigation system into their Twenty 29, 4.0 – 4.36 – 4.50 Elite RTK lawnmowers.

Quectel's LG69T series GNSS module is known for its dual-band options, supporting multiple global constellations like GPS, Galileo, and BDS. With up to 10 Hz navigation rate and optional integration of RTK and Dead Reckoning technology, this module is versatile across various applications, including precision agriculture, drones, and robotics.

The LG69T-AM module, when combined with ZCS Cloud RTK, offers centimeter-level accuracy. This enables lawnmowers to navigate large areas without the need for perimeter wires, ensuring precise grass cutting even in challenging terrains.

Norbert Muhrer, President and CSO of Quectel Wireless Solutions, highlighted the advanced positioning technology of the LG69T-AM module, which provides centimeter-level accuracy for precise navigation.

ZCS's Idea Lab, dedicated to research and development, focuses on improving the intelligence of their lawnmower robots through this collaboration. The integration of RTK Cloud technology enhances information transmission and increases the accuracy of robot positioning, optimizing autonomous navigation.

This technology is initially integrated into specific models for larger gardens, with plans for expansion into robots designed for smaller to medium-sized green spaces.

The partnership between Quectel and ZCS underscores the increasing importance of IoT technology in the development of smart, efficient, and precise solutions for everyday tasks, such as lawn maintenance. Quectel's global IoT expertise complements ZCS's commitment to innovation in the field of robotic lawnmowers.
