Greenzie, known primarily for its commercial lawnmower software and industrial equipment, has announced that it will launch its 2.0 software on March 6, 2023, according to a Feb. 28 article from OPE Business. The software update will be sent over-the-air and automatically installed for all subscribers on March 6.

The new software will include several new features such as:

  • Job saving and reloading: Map an area once and mow all season with the press of a button on an easy-to-use interface with no app download required.
  • Job continuation: Mower or job interrupted? Pick up where you left off easily.
  • Advanced perception updates: A Machine Learning model with traffic cone detection in addition to the Greenzie existing redundant, rugged obstacle detection sensor stack.
  • Improved turns: Using a Model Predictive Controller – a state-of-the-art robotic guidance system that accounts for wet grass and dusty conditions (and won’t rut the lawn).
  • Enhanced safety: GPS jump detection, compensation and advanced sensor health checks.
  • Improved dynamic local planner: For more efficient Y-turns and vehicle behaviors when the mower encounters unexpected obstacles.

“Our team of roboticists, software engineers and landscaping professionals have been working hard on continuous improvements,"says Charles Brian Quinn, Greenzie CEO and co-founder. "This update is simply a line in the sand to celebrate the features that our customers have asked for, helped us refine, and developed together to make their crews more productive.” 

Quinn continued and added that "“All mowers across the nation get these updates and every day our technology gets better and better. I’m especially proud of the job reloading, it’s a feature that everyone asks for, and our team developed based on exactly what our best customers told us to build, in the field with them together, not off in a lab.”
