MoeBots Lawnmowers are safe, eco-friendly, and fully autonomous. They DO NOT even require a perimeter wire. They use the latest GPS/ RTK positioning as well as camera vision and VSLAM technology to accurately position themselves and mow your yard in perfectly straight lines.

Once the very quick and easy installation is finalized, your MoeBot Acre Eater robot mower can be scheduled to cut many different areas and return home to recharge by itself with no input from you at all.

MoeBot Acre Eater uses a Virtual boundard that is created by simply remote controlling the robot around the borders. It uses GPS / RTK (Real Time Kenimatics) to use exisitng satilite positioning systems to know exactily where it is to an accuracy of 1-2 cm. Then in locations where the robot may not be able to see many GPS satilites it uses its onbard camera system to continue mowing.

Then it also uses vSLAM technology to contiuously update its own position in relation to the mowing area.

It is very simple to program your Virtual Boundary, you simply use the suplied free IOS or Android App and select map area. From there you just remote control the robot around the edge of the lawn you want to mow. The Robot will record the movements of the robot around the boundary and store this as the Virtual Bounday.

This process is also use to creat a NoGo zone for areas that you dont want the robot to mow that are inside the mowing area. Like gardens or ponds etc…

Yes, all Moebot Acre Eater models can have 10 (3000m2 model) or 20 (6000m2 model) separate mowing areas. The MoeBot Acre Eater will locate these areas by following the programed transport paths. These transport paths can be programmed in the same way you program your virtial boundary.

For each mowing area the robot can be programmed to mow at customisable angles and heights.

Due to the blade system being located in the centre of the robotic mower, there will be some uncut grass around the edges of your lawn. This uncut grass is minimal, but you will still need to use a line trimmer in some areas.

If you have level concrete or paved edging on your lawn boundary, the Acre Eater robotic mower will travel with one wheel on the hard edge and another on the lawn during the boundary mow.
This allows the robotic mower to cut to the edges in this situation.

MoeBot Acre Eater robotic mowers use straight parallel cutting patterns in the same manner you would mow your lawn wirth a push mower.

This parallel pattern can be angled to suit your lawn shape or altered to allow for an angled cutting style. Or you can even set the cut to cross cut and leave a cheaker board pattern on your lawn that looks amazing.

The main benefit of robotic mowers is that they will cut your lawn more often than you would, and keep the grass perfectly mowed all year round.

It is best to allow your robotic mower to cover your ENTIRE lawn 2-3 times a week during the peak growing season in Australia. 

MoeBot Acre Eater robot mowers have a programable schedule feature that lets the lawnmower work when you want it to, night or day.

The Acre Eater will mow approximately 100-200m2 per. The run time per battery of the Acre Eater 3000 is between 1 and 2 hours, the Acre Eater Pro 6000 will mow for between 2 and 4 hours. These ratings depend on the type of grass, lenghth of grass, slope of mowing surfcae and other factors.

The MoeBot Acre Eater has two models: The Acre Eater 3000m2 and the Acre Eater Pro 6000m2. We highly recomend that you do not exceed the maximum capacity of the area rating. These ratings are base on how much area the robot can mow over a 48 period.

It is IMPORTANT to notice that every robot lawn mower has 3 different slope ratings.

Maximum Permissible Slope – It determines the highest gradient value that the robot can manage. The highest slope should only be in a small part of your lawn and it should be well inside your perimeter wire.
Maximum Consistent slope – If most of your lawn is sloped, this should be the maximum slope gradient value of your lawn.
Maximum edge slope – This is the most important rating, is the maximum slope allowed within 1 metre of your boundary wire.

* These ratings are the maximum allowable ratings on a perfectly manicured lawn surface. So lawn areas with rough or uneven surfaces, and thick or deep grass (>30mm deep when cut) will need to be factored into your maximum slope ratings.

Thick grasses like newly laid Buffalo and Kikuyu can be difficult for some robot mower to travel on.

If you notice that your lawn is more than 40mm in height when freshly mowed, keep it in mind when choosing a mower. Newly laid or grown grass are usually deeper than older established grass.

Also, lawns that are heavily thatched underneath can also cause the grass to be too deep and spongy. Deep spongy grass is also difficult for the robot mower to maintain traction.

If your lawn is under 40mm in height when freshly mowed, then most robot mowers will be able to travel on them easily.
