How do you make sure that a robot mower does not mow the flowers?

Robot mowers without a perimeter wire:

The easiest and most sure-fire way is create a “no-go” (manufacturers call this different things) from within the mapping software in app. Robot mowers with advanced cameras will also assist with avoidance, however it is advisable to map around flowers such as spring bulbs and flower beds to ensure your display cannot succumb to the razor sharp blades of your new robot mower.

With a perimeter wire:

Simply extend the wire to create no-cut islands. An electrical pulse (very low voltage) is sent down the wire and when the mower reaches the wire, it turns around (just like it has encountered an obstacle). If the power goes off, the mower stops so there is no danger to your flowers. It is possible to create temporary no-cut zone through the use of a switch. This is quite involved and generally a professional would be required to design and install this. With the advancements in RTK robotics, use cases for perimeter wire robots has become reduced. If you have flowers to avoid and your garden is suitable for an RTK robot (no perimeter wire required) our advice is to pursue that choice.
