Kress EyePilot® 4×4 RTKⁿ KR285E Robotic Lawn Mower

Kress EyePilot® 4×4 RTKⁿ KR285E Robotic Lawn Mower

All-terrain 4WD robotic mowing for lawns up to 10,000 m²

Designed for demanding landscapes, the Kress EyePilot® 4×4 RTKⁿ KR285E combines RTK satellite positioning, vision-based awareness and a true four-wheel-drive system to deliver precise, stable navigation across complex terrain — without boundary wires, on-site antennas or additional positioning hardware.

Its four-motor drivetrain uses real-time torque control to maintain traction and direction on slopes of up to 84% (approximately 40°). Independent axles and an articulated body help keep all four wheels firmly planted as the terrain changes, while the self-levelling cutting system maintains a consistent cutting plane across slopes, contours and uneven ground.

Unlike skid-steer machines, the KR285E uses true front-wheel steering, allowing smooth, controlled turns with reduced turf damage. With up to 6 cm of vertical obstacle clearance, it can also negotiate raised edges, transitions and challenging routes between lawn areas with confidence.

RTK correction is delivered over the air, while Kress' redundant positioning architecture combines satellite positioning with onboard sensing and vision to maintain accurate navigation when satellite conditions become more difficult.

With Wi-Fi and integrated 4G connectivity, the mower stays connected without relying solely on your home network. An embedded SIM and active data service are included from the start, with no additional connectivity subscription fees.

Built for Difficult Terrain

All Terrain. Full Control.

The KR285E has been engineered for lawns where a conventional robotic mower may struggle. Four independently driven wheels, articulated geometry and intelligent torque management allow it to maintain traction across steep, uneven and changing terrain.

Steep Ground, Steady Progress

The four-motor drivetrain continuously adjusts torque to maintain stability and direction on slopes of up to 84% (approximately 40°).

Uneven Made Even

An articulated chassis allows the mower to adapt as the terrain changes beneath it, while the self-levelling blade system helps maintain a consistent cutting height across slopes and contours.

Grounded Throughout

Independent axles help keep all four wheels in contact with the ground, improving traction and stability over uneven surfaces.

6 cm Vertical Obstacle Clearance

Raised lawn edges and transitions between areas can often cause problems for robotic mowers. The KR285E can negotiate vertical transitions of up to 6 cm, making it particularly suitable for more complex gardens.

True Front-Wheel Steering

Rather than turning by dragging or skidding its driven wheels across the lawn, the KR285E uses front-wheel steering for smoother directional changes and reduced turf wear.

RTK Precision Enhanced by Vision

The EyePilot system combines RTK satellite positioning with vision-based awareness to understand both where the mower is and what surrounds it.

RTK correction is delivered over the air, so there is no need to install a separate RTK antenna or positioning pole in the garden.

Its redundant positioning architecture uses additional onboard sensing when satellite reception becomes more challenging, helping the mower maintain accurate positioning around trees, buildings and more complex parts of the lawn.

Sees What Doesn't Belong

The vision system identifies objects that are not part of the lawn and intelligently navigates around them.

Uninterrupted by Foliage

Fallen leaves can be recognised as ground cover rather than automatically being treated as obstacles.

Accurate Along Hard Surfaces

The vision system can identify grass alongside paving, stone and other hard landscaping, helping the mower accurately follow the lawn.

ZeroTrim Edge Cutting

The ZeroTrim cutting system allows the KR285E to cut closely along lawn edges, reducing the amount of follow-up trimming required.

Combined with RTK positioning and vision recognition, the mower can maintain an accurate cutting path alongside defined boundaries.

Structured or Random Mowing

Choose the mowing style that suits your lawn.

Structured mowing creates clean, organised mowing lines and can produce an attractive striped finish.

Random mowing provides a more traditional robotic mowing pattern for a natural-looking finish.

Both options can be configured depending on the lawn and your preference.

Multiple Lawns & Complex Routes

The KR285E can manage multiple lawn zones and precisely navigate designated routes between them.

RTK positioning allows the mower to repeatedly travel between separate areas while maintaining an accurate route, making it particularly well suited to larger properties with several lawns, paths and connecting areas.

Lawn boundaries can be created using:

• Automatic mapping

• Assisted mapping

• Manual app-based mapping

Connectivity Included — No Additional Fees

What you see is what you pay.

Connectivity is built into the EyePilot system from the start.

The KR285E features integrated 4G as well as Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing it to remain connected even where your home Wi-Fi network does not cover the entire garden.

The embedded SIM and active mobile data service are included, with nothing additional to activate, configure or renew.

Where suitable mobile coverage is available, EyePilot can remain connected for operation, updates and tracking.

App Control

The Kress app allows you to configure and monitor the mower from your phone.

Depending on your setup, you can manage:

• Lawn zones

• Virtual boundaries

• Transport paths

• Cutting heights

• Mowing patterns

• Mowing schedules

• Mower status

• System settings

• Location tracking

Software updates are delivered automatically, allowing the EyePilot platform to continue improving over time.

Designed for Low-Light Operation

Integrated front lighting provides additional illumination in low-light conditions, allowing the vision system to continue operating after dark.

Combined with its quiet 62 dB operating level, the KR285E can mow discreetly without significantly disturbing the garden.
