Interaction with Autonomous Robots with Husqvarna Group

Today’s robotic mowers primarily rely on app-based or pre-programmed routines, limiting how naturally users can communicate their needs. As consumer expectations grow towards seamless experiences, smart, voice-enabled, and behavior-aware products are becoming the industry standard. We see a clear opportunity to evolve our machines into more proactive and responsive companions. We believe that technologies such as voice assistance, gesture recognition, and perhaps even AI-powered behavior prediction are becoming mature enough for real-world deployment. 

Our vision is a holistic interaction model, either as an integrated system or accessory-based modules, that can understand complex commands, anticipate actions, and report status effectively. We see that systems combining voice commands, gestures, and user behavior to improve how our robots interpret and act upon user intent will deliver the best result for a seamless and intuitive interaction.

We’re looking for startups and scaleups with experience and stellar know-how in human-machine interaction, embedded AI, or hardware interfaces to join us in building and piloting this next-generation system. Use cases can include, but are not limited to, hands-free commands, localized task execution, and behavior-based scheduling.

Collaborating with Husqvarna Group offers you a gateway to scale and test your technology with one of the most established global leaders in robotic lawn care. Through a potential collaboration, you’ll gain access to real-world test environments, domain expertise, and opportunities for long-term commercial integration—ultimately positioning your solution at the forefront of smart outdoor robotics.
