Pudu Robotics, a global leader in commercial service robotics, has expanded its portfolio into outdoor professional grounds management with the launch of the PUDU GT Series—a three-model lineup of commercial robotic mowers designed for professional turf-care operations. Among the trio, the PUDU GT7 stands as the flagship precision model, engineered specifically for golf courses, professional sports fields, and other high-stakes turf environments where cut quality, consistency, and boundary control are paramount.
Precision Mowing, Reimagined
Professional turf demands more than simply keeping grass short—consistency, cut quality, terrain adaptability, and precision all matter. The GT7 addresses this with a 62-inch (160 cm) triplex reel mowing system featuring three independently floating reel units. This design allows each unit to follow the contours of undulating terrain independently, maintaining a consistent height of cut across rolling fairways, sloped greens, and uneven field surfaces.
The result is a level of cut quality that meets the exacting standards of professional athletic fields and championship golf courses—without the variability introduced by human operators or rigid, non-adaptive mowing decks.
Multi-Sensor Fusion for Autonomous Precision
At the core of the GT7’s autonomous capability is a sophisticated multi-sensor fusion system that combines RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) positioning, LiDAR, and camera vision. The RTK module delivers positioning accuracy of up to ±2.5 centimeters under supported conditions, enabling pinpoint navigation and repeatable, hands-free operation. LiDAR and vision systems work in tandem to provide obstacle detection and autonomous navigation across people, vehicles, animals, and terrain variations.
Operators can configure cutting angles, lane offsets, and directional rotations to establish standardized mowing patterns and reproducible professional striping. Whether the goal is classic straight-line striping or directional rotational patterns, the GT7 delivers immaculate, professional-grade results on every pass.
Built for the Complexity of Professional Turf
The GT7 is engineered to conquer the physical demands of professional turf environments. Its four-wheel-drive system provides dependable traction across steep slopes and rolling terrain, with a climbing capability of up to 30 degrees—eliminating tire slippage and ensuring full-field autonomous coverage even on challenging golf course topography.
The mower also features autonomous cross-zone transit, moving seamlessly between different pitches or turf zones along pre-mapped internal routes. This eliminates the need for manual relocation, allowing a single GT7 unit to cover multiple sports fields or fairways effortlessly.
Despite its massive 62-inch cutting width, the GT7 maintains tight-space agility, gliding through narrow, twisting paths to ensure seamless coverage across complex sports field layouts.
Low-Noise, All-Electric Operation
The GT7 operates on an all-electric chassis, delivering quiet runtime that makes it suitable for noise-sensitive environments. In non-collection mode, the suction motor can be disabled for near-silent operation—enabling early-morning or evening mowing without disturbing players, guests, or neighboring residents.
Commercial-Grade Construction
Across the GT Series, all models share an AI-native perception architecture and commercial-grade construction, including an all-metal body, steel chassis, and IP66-rated weather protection for reliable outdoor operation in diverse conditions. Manual drive mode is also available for direct operator control when site conditions require it.
Global Debut at GaLaBau 2026
The PUDU GT Series—including the GT3 (compact grounds care), GT5 (high-productivity large-area mowing), and GT7 (precision reel mowing)—will make its global debut at GaLaBau 2026 in Nuremberg, Germany, from September 15 to 18. The launch marks Pudu Robotics’ entry into the outdoor professional grounds management sector, a market where labor availability and cost remain significant operational constraints for facilities managers, landscaping contractors, and sports venue operators.
