In this blog, we will introduce our Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware updates and explore the function, purpose, and steps to follow on how to upgrade and update your RoboUP robot lawn mower.

What is OTA?

Over-The-Air (OTA) is a function that's integrated in various types of technology in today's society. RoboUP is a classic example of this, setting new heights in modern lawn care technology. OTA functionality enables our robot mowers to receive firmware updates wirelessly, without the need for complex manual intervention. These updates are crucial for maintaining the mower's firmware at the pinnacle of performance and efficiency, ensuring it stays ahead of the curve.

Thanks to our strong Central Processor Units (>10 units on TM01 Series), RoboUP mowers are capable of handling all kinds of complex environments. The integration of “OTA” also ensures that the firmware remains consistently up-to-date, guaranteeing optimal performance at all times.

Why OTA Updates Are Necessary?

OTA updates are vital for several reasons. Firstly, they allow our engineers to continuously improve the mower's firmware, enhancing its intelligence and capabilities. As lawn care technology evolves, OTA updates can ensure that your RoboUP robot mower remains competitive and efficient, adapting to new challenges, trends and user preferences.

Additionally, OTA updates address potential security vulnerabilities, protecting your mower from cyber threats at all times. With regular software updates, we can mitigate risks and ensure your RoboUP mower operates in a safe and reliable manner.

How OTA Updates Work?
