Sound Intelligence with Husqvarna Group

Many critical events in a garden are audible long before they are visible: unusual mechanical vibrations, the sound of children or pets approaching, or environmental signals that something requires attention. Currently, our Automowers do not leverage acoustic data, which limits our capabilities in predictive maintenance, safety, and contextual awareness.

As autonomous products become staples of modern landscaping, user expectations are evolving. Robots are expected to “understand” their surroundings and behave intelligently in complex, real-world conditions—not just ideal scenarios. We aim to bridge this gap by adding targeted, sound-based capabilities that make the mower more aware, safer to be around, and more dependable over time.

Our vision is to collaborate with startups that offer concrete, implemented audio solutions—whether using on-board microphones or external devices like smartphones. We are not looking for generic audio analytics platforms; we are seeking specific, validated solutions that can be piloted and iterated quickly to solve real garden-relevant challenges.

By partnering with Husqvarna Group, you can integrate your sound-based technology into a world-leading robotic mowing platform with a massive global customer base. Together, we will design and test audio use cases on real Automowers, supported by our expert engineering, product, and safety teams.

Successful collaborations offer the potential to scale across product generations, explore licensing models, and position your technology as a core component of how our robots sense and respond to their environment.
