Precise Path to Unveil Robotic Greens Mower for the Golf Courses


Indianapolis-based company, Precise Path Robotics has announced its latest creation, the RG3 robotic greens mower, a fully automated robotic golf course conditioning and maintenance mower.



 
Precise Path’s vice president of sales and marketing said that the latest technology will undoubtedly help golf course superintendents achieve uniformity and outstanding course conditions while allowing crew workers to tackle other tasks during the greens-mowing process, such as raking bunkers, plantings, turf repair, and so on.
 
The new Robot combines robotic technology with an industry proven cutting unit to produce a consistent and accurate cut every time while also enabling superintendents to realize dramatic increases in productivity and efficiency. It even manages to travel on straight line along the perimeter without the need for a human operator.

Robo comes with an easy operation where the operator places four beacons, each about the size of a bowling pin, in predetermined, fixed locations around the green. Then the operator simply presses “start” and the RG3 automatically performs the mowing operation according to exact specifications set by the superintendent.

The mower remains in constant communication with the beacons to help guide its precise movement across the green during the mowing sessions.

“There is a need for a more consistent method of maintaining golf courses,” said Gamble. “Not only will golfers benefit from better, more uniformly cut greens, but superintendents and crews alike will be able to focus on other important tasks such as general course maintenance and landscaping.”

The company had even committed themselves to support Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) and its members to participate in the association's Partner Recognition Program. The company will invest resources at the program's elite "Silver" level.

"Helping golf course superintendents, owners and operators realize the benefits of robotics is our top priority, and we intend to be here for the long haul to support the industry in making this important technology adoption," said Doug Traster, Precise Path Robotics president and co-founder.

Precise Path Robotics designs and manufactures robotic golf course conditioning and maintenance equipment. Its products utilize advanced robotic technology to help the golf course superintendent: achieve consistent and excellent course conditions, reduce operational costs and minimize negative impacts to the environment.
