Taming the Edges: How Landscapers and Facilities Managers Use AMS for Complex Grounds

Not every green space is a neatly shaped rectangle. Landscapers and facilities managers know that the real challenge in grounds maintenance lies in irregular perimeters, steep slopes, tight corners and multi-use zones—the kind of complexity that traditional mowing equipment often struggles to handle efficiently.

Thankfully, robotic mowing technology has evolved. Today, it’s not just for manicured lawns or sports pitches—it’s becoming a go-to solution for high-complexity commercial sites, from sprawling airports to university campuses and large public estates.

AMS Robotics is at the forefront of this shift, offering intelligent automation that can navigate the most awkward layouts with precision and consistency.

Slopes, Curves and Tricky Perimeters

Modern robotic mowers, like the Belrobotics BigMow and ParcMow, are designed to handle real-world terrain—not just flat, open lawns. With powerful wheel motors, adaptive sensors, and GPS-guided navigation, these machines can manage sloping ground, curved edges and challenging borders.

Whether it’s mowing around car parks, tree lines, or water features, AMS robots maintain a tight, clean finish along the edges—without scalping or missing patches. They’re equipped with safety sensors and obstacle avoidance, ensuring smooth operation around footpaths, bollards, or signage.

The result? A consistently maintained landscape, even in areas that are traditionally time-consuming to

manage manually.

Multi-Zone Programming for Complex Sites

Facilities like airports, business parks, and university campuses don’t have one big lawn—they have multiple green spaces, often separated by buildings, roads or foot traffic. AMS robotic mowers can be programmed for multi-zone mowing, easily moving between designated areas according to a scheduled plan.

This allows facilities managers to maintain several distinct patches of turf with a single autonomous solution. Whether it’s keeping airport verges tidy for visibility and safety, or ensuring corporate lawns are perfectly cut for staff and visitors, robotic mowers take care of it quietly and efficiently.

What’s more, because they operate on electric power, they’re ideal for low-noise environments, such as healthcare sites or residential developments.

Scalable Fleets for Professional Landscapers

For commercial landscapers managing multiple contracts or large estates, robotic mowers are a smart way to scale operations without overextending your team. Instead of sending crews to perform routine mowing every week, you can deploy AMS units that maintain each site autonomously, reducing labour costs and freeing your staff to focus on more skilled work like planting, edging, or seasonal tasks.

Fleet management tools allow you to monitor and control multiple mowers from a central dashboard, giving you real-time status updates, performance metrics and service alerts.
