What is Kress EyePilot?
Kress EyePilot is a new range of robot lawn mowers that uses satellite navigation and AI-powered vision to cut your grass automatically.
Unlike traditional robot mowers that need boundary wires buried around your lawn, Kress EyePilot uses RTK satellite positioning to know exactly where it is, accurate to the centimetre. No wires. No installation hassle. Just map your lawn with the app and let it get to work.
The result? A perfectly striped lawn without lifting a finger.
These mowers are now available to pre-order at Border Plant Sales in Cheshire. We stock the full Kress groundcare range, including chainsaws, hedge trimmers, leaf blowers and more.
How Does It Work?
Kress EyePilot combines three technologies:
RTK Satellite Positioning
RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) positioning gives the mower centimetre-level accuracy. The correction signal is delivered over the air – no antennas or poles in your garden.
AI Vision (EyePilot models)
EyePilot models feature a stereo camera system that lets the mower see and identify obstacles. It knows the difference between a football and a flower bed. If satellite signals are blocked by trees or buildings, the mower switches to vision mode and keeps cutting accurately.
Smart Mapping
You set up your lawn zones through the app. The mower learns your garden layout and navigates between zones, adjusting cutting height for each area if needed.
All software updates are delivered automatically. The mower connects via Wi-Fi or built-in 4G (included for 5 years on premium models).
The EyePilot Range
The EyePilot range combines RTK satellite positioning with AI vision cameras for the smartest navigation available.

ZeroTrim Edge Cutting
One of the cleverest features on the Kress EyePilot range is ZeroTrim.
Most robot mowers leave a strip of uncut grass around the edges. You still need to strim. ZeroTrim solves this with a secondary side blade that cuts right up to the boundary – within 0-2cm of the edge.
AI boundary recognition guides the mower to follow the edge precisely. The result is a clean, professional finish without manual touch-ups.
ZeroTrim is included on most EyePilot models.
Who is Kress EyePilot For?
Homeowners with larger gardens
If you’re spending hours mowing every week, a robot mower gives you that time back. The EyePilot range covers lawns from 500m² to 5,000m².
Properties with slopes and complex layouts
The 4×4 models handle gradients that would stop most robot mowers. Multiple lawn zones? No problem – the mower navigates between them automatically.
Smallholders and estates
Large lawns, paddock edges, orchard areas – the RTKⁿ range can manage up to 28,000m² (nearly 7 acres) without boundary wires. If you’re already using an ATV or UTV around your property, a robot mower takes another job off your list.
Commercial and sports grounds
Schools, golf courses, sports clubs and landscaping businesses can benefit from the larger RTKⁿ models, with professional striped finishes and fleet management for multiple mowers working together.
Anyone who hates mowing
Let’s be honest. The main benefit is that you never have to push a mower again.
