Husqvarna has announced that it's increasing its investment in Robin Autopilot, a robotic mowing service and parent company of Mowbot, a robotic lawn care service provider.
Husqvarna, which has sold 2 million of its Automower autonomous mower, says that Robin and Mowbot are instrumental in the growth of Robotics as a Service (RaaS) in North America with the growing mid-tier landscaping market.
"We are firm believers in robotic technology and its role in the future of more sustainable lawn care," said Robert McCutcheon, President of Husqvarna NA. "With our growing partnership with Robin, we are committing to the growth of RaaS in the US market and the evolution of autonomous mowing."
According to Husqvarna, this latest investment will enable Robin Autopilot to continue to strengthen its leadership position in Robotics as a Service in the U.S. lawn care marketplace, offering proprietary fleet management, surveyor and customer acquisition software tools, patented robotic accessories and a full suite of education and training services to empower and grow businesses.
Robin will also improve its access to supply of Husqvarna robotic mowing products and accessories such as CEORA, EPOS boundary wire free Automowers, fence door and solar charging systems, as well as Husqvarna battery handheld equipment.
"Our ongoing partnership will allow further development of Robin's technologies and offerings, including its fleet management system, which enables landscapers to utilize autonomous and electric fleets more efficiently and profitably," said Logan Fahey, CEO of Robin Autopilot.
