Engineered for absolute accuracy, the Castelgarden XR1500 is the only robot lawn mower with the unique patented Active Guidance System (AGS) technology.
Other autonomous mowers may lose signal or be affected by obstacles in built-up areas, meaning you would have to intervene to have them getting the job finished. But the Castelgarden XR1500 autonomous robot mower can predict the GPS signal quality at different times of day and intelligently plans ahead to ensure it can mow uninterrupted when the signal is strongest.
The Castelgarden XR1500 knows exactly when, where and how to cut your grass to keep your lawn healthy – and give you and your family time to enjoy your garden.
The installation is fully virtual, meaning the working perimeter can be set through the app – ask your dealer for advice for the first installation. If your garden layout should change, you will simply need to open the app, and teach your XR1500 the new details.
Equipped with our long-lasting ePower battery, the Castelgarden XR1500 can reliably cut up to 2,500sqm. The next session will always start where the previous one stopped, so the robot can care for the whole surface by cutting different zones every day.
Excellent sound insulation keeps motor noise within the autonomous robot mower's outer shell. Or for days when you’ve got people over for a party, you can use the app’s stay-away setting to tell the robotic lawn mower what areas to avoid at what times.
When it comes to maintenance, the sturdy outer shell can easily be removed without tools. If you need to clean the machine's body with a direct waterflow ensure to keep the robot in its working position (horizontal, wheels downwards). If you are just cleaning the blades, use a brush.
No direct waterflows should be used when the robot is upside-down.
Free connectivity for the lifetime of your robot. No extra costs needed.

How does the Castelgarden autonomous robot lawnmower work?
Our autonomous robot mowers cut the grass within a virtual boundary. The perimeter is set via the App, meaning there is no boundary cable. The Castelgarden autonomous robot mowers don't need a physical perimeter wire, as they are guided by GPS satellite signal, combined with the predictive STIGA AGS technology. The robot is a maintaining mower which means it does not collect grass, but instead scatters the grass clippings on the lawn that then decompose acting as a natural fertiliser. Programmed to trim the lawn at scheduled intervals, it automatically knows when to return to the charging station.
What is the AGS technology installed on Castelgarden autonomous robot mowers and how does it work?
The patented Active Guidance System technology ‘learns and maps’ the dynamics of your garden, along with the patterns of GPS Satellite blind spots, as the robot moves throughout the day. This way, it allows the robotic lawn mower to plan cutting sessions ahead, knowing exactly when and where to cut, in order to never lose signal and avoiding the risk of stoppages. You don't need to intervene or do anything; after a learning phase (usually 3 days after activating the robot mower), the robot mower will have mapped both your lawn and the sky above it, knowing exactly when and where satellite signal is strong enough for it to mow uninterrupted.
Can a Castelgarden autonomous robot lawn mower work at night?
Yes, Castelgarden autonomous robotic lawn mowers could potentially mow at night, but we strongly recommend to have them working only during daylight hours, possibly in the suggested cutting sessions. As grass is very humid at night and the garden is occupied by nightlife, such as small insects or hedgehogs, we recommend for both nurturing lawn health and respecting the ecosystem to not schedule cutting sessions overnight.
Can a Castelgarden autonomous robot lawn mower work in the rain?
Yes, the Castelgarden autonomous robot lawn mower is able to operate in the rain; however, we recommend that you activate the rain sensors as mowing wet grass can ruin the lawn. When the sensors detect rain, the robot mower will then automatically return to the charging station and wait for the next working cycle.
Why is it recommended that you send your autonomous robot mower out twice a day?
One of the main reasons is related to lawn health... and also to your time on the lawn! By scheduling 2 daily cutting sessions in two specific time frames, the lawn will have the time to recover and stand up again. The autonomous robot mowers leave a minimum of 5 hours between mows. By doing that, the grass has plenty of time to seal in the moisture and heal from the 'injury' of the last cut, before the next mow. Then, with just 2 mowing cycles a day the autonomous robot mower leaves more than enough time between cuts for the grass blades to properly recover, stand up proud again, and continue to grow healthy.
How many cutting patterns does the Castelgarden autonomous robot mower have?
Through the STIGA.GO App, users can decide to make their Castelgarden autonomous robot mower mow in parallel lines from North-South, parallel lines from East-West, or they can choose to mow diagonally. The fluidity of the movements, as well as the cutting speed, has been accurately studied to promote lawn health.
Does the Castelgarden robot lawnmower collect grass clippings?
No, the Castelgarden autonomous robot mower does not collect grass. It does a sort of mulching, which means that grass clippings are scattered onto the lawn that then decompose acting as a natural fertiliser.
Does the robot mower have a remote control?
The Castelgarden autonomous robot mower is fully controllable via the STIGA.GO App on your mobile phone. From the very first installation, you have complete control of your robot through the STIGA.GO App on your phone.
How does the autonomous robot mower find its charging station?
During installation, the Castelgarden autonomous robotic lawn mower records the position of the charging station. Once the position of the charging base has been recorded, your robot mower will have no issues navigating back to base once your lawn has been taken care of.
Can the robot lawnmower cross a path between lawn areas?
Yes, the Castelgarden autonomous robotic lawn mower can follow a path between lawn areas, even through narrow spaces. You just need to be sure that the signal is stable even in those locations. During the perimeter registration, you will need to record the pathway, including those narrow spaces, considering the internet connection and the possible presence of obstacles.
