Organised by the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy to celebrate the 140th anniversary of the founding of the Italian Patent and Trademark Office and the 550th anniversary of the publication of the first Patent Statute, the exhibition was inaugurated at the Ministry’s headquarters in Palazzo Piacentini on 18 November and will be open to the public until March 2025. The exhibition aims to highlight the impact of the most relevant 100 patents of industrial inventions on Italian society and the international context. It also presents different generations of innovators, from those who once filed patents individually to those who today work increasingly in multidisciplinary teams within universities, research centres, and startups.
“I am honoured that our invention has been selected by the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy to be displayed in this prestigious exhibition. This selection is a significant recognition of our constant commitment to innovation and quality.” commented Sean Robinson, CEO of the STIGA Group. “We will continue to dedicate resources and energy to developing solutions that improve product efficiency and reduce human effort on outdoor maintenance, contributing to a more sustainable and technologically advanced future for garden care.”
STIGA’s Autonomous Lawn Mower, unveiled at the 2023 Fuorisalone design fair and winner of the 2023 Red Dot Design Award, represents a significant step in the field of automated green maintenance. It is designed to operate without the need for underground wires and uses GNSS signals to predict satellite signal availability, map the mowing area, and cut the grass automatically, without relying on user intervention. In the past, problems such as GNSS signal loss would cause traditional robots to pass over the same area multiple times, excessively cutting the grass, damaging it, or requiring human intervention.
Thanks to this invention, which solves the technical problem of automating and optimising the robotic lawn mower’s operations, the robot is able to process GNSS signals, learn and store satellite orbits, monitor signal strength, and detect obstacles. This allows for centimetre-precise planning of mowing operations. As a result, every area of the lawn is mowed regularly and accurately, avoiding repeated cuts in the same areas and improving the energy efficiency of the operation. All of this is achieved without the need for physical demarcations or an operator’s involvement, creating a healthy, even lawn.
Visitors will have the opportunity to discover first-hand the remarkable features of STIGA’s Autonomous Lawn Mower and the benefits it brings to the automated green maintenance sector, in the “Agri & Sea Tech” section of the exhibition. The exhibition is open to the public on weekends (Saturdays and Sundays) from 10:00 to 18:30 until 2 March 2025 at the Italian Ministry’s headquarters (Palazzo Piacentini, Via Veneto 33 – Rome).
