Echo introduces robotic mower and range picker

As part of Echo USA’s #20for2020 media preview event, Echo Robotics introduced the RP-1200 robotic range picker and the TM-2000 autonomous mower. Both the autonomous mower and robotic range picker are compatible with an automated ball management system for driving ranges.

The mower is never late to work and never calls in sick. A similar model has been in use in Europe for years. Will it catch on in the U.S.? pic.twitter.com/dHCaukgmPt

The PR-1200 range picker has a tank capacity of 300 balls and can pick up to 12,500 balls a day, rain or shine. It can cover five acres at a speed of 2.2 mph. It comes with a self-charging station and can be controlled from a smartphone app or a portal. The RP-1200 guidance system includes safety features which include slowing the mower down when it senses an obstacle. It can work in tandem with the TM-2000 autonomous mower.
