Trees & Shade
Great Shade.InterestingSatellites.
Mature trees are gorgeous — and they're the enemy of satellite navigation. Dense canopy blocks the sky signal RTK mowers rely on, so vision or hybrid systems shine under the branches.
RTK mowers need a clear view of the sky. A heavy canopy degrades the signal — vision or hybrid navigation is the safer bet under mature trees.
What changes
for the robot?
Trees create two problems: sky blockage for satellite navigation and obstacle navigation for everything. Vision and LiDAR handle the trunks; RTK struggles with the signal.
Patch's Note
Satellite navigation usually likes open sky. That giant oak tree deserves a closer look.
