WORX Landroid Anti Collision System

Brand:WORX

2.9/5

The Landroid Anti-Collision System, or ACS, is like a pair of glasses for your Landroid. Now it’ll be able to spot obstacles and lawn features up to 8 inches away, and 5 inches high, and steer to avoid them, instead of running into them. That means it’ll mow faster and do a more efficient job of mowing your lawn. See, without ACS, every time Landroid bumps into something that can knock it off its game, it has to recalculate where it is in your yard. That’s just how most robotic lawn mowers work. But when you pop on the ACS, Landroid can dodge bushes and child toys and stay on course to keep your yard neat and tidy. It uses automotive-grade anti-collision technology to pull this off. You know, the same kind of sensors that warn you when another car is in your blind spot. That keeps Landroid from scuffing its paint, but more importantly, it also minimizes damage to the structures around your yard. Everybody wins when Landroid uses the Anti-Collision System. Robot mowers are premium devices. Give yours all the tools it needs to perform as well as it can, so you can spend your weekend relaxing with the confidence that Landroid will make the lawn look nice, all by itself.

[DO IT YOURSELF. DO IT BETTER. DO IT WITH WORX.] WORX tools are engineered with cutting-edge technology, and above modern efficiency standards, so you can build a cost-effective tool collection that’s been designed to last. [EASY TO INSTALL] Remove the module on top, slide in ACS, lock it down with two screws and the hex key (included), and you’re good. [WORKS SMARTER] Without ACS, Landroid will bump into objects and turn around to navigate around your yard, but that interferes with its mowing algorithm. With ACS it’ll mow better and faster. [PREVENTS DAMAGE] To both Landroid and the trees, landscaping, lawn furniture, and other landmarks around your lawn. [ULTRASONIC DETECTION] Allows Landroid to recognize obstacles before bumping into them.

Not sure what value it's adding
I ended up disabling mine, and wish I hadn't bought it. The only thing it seemed to avoid is, if there was a cluster of dandelions or something that grew much higher than the grass around them, the robot would avoid them when I wanted it to do the opposite. I don't have any obstacles to be avoided in my yard, though, other than a baby lilac that I put wire fencing around anyway. But even when this was enabled and I tested it by standing in the way of the mower, it still bumped into my leg.

60% of the time it works everytime!
The media could not be loaded. It's godsend when it works but usually I have anxiety, constantly peeking out the window while my landroid mows to make sure it's not getting into any shenanigans. I bought the ACS unit because we like to have a volleyball net up during the summer. I put pool noodles over the anchor ropes of the volleyball net so the ACS unit could better detect them. I also check and clean the ACS unit to ensure there's no debris. But in the end there's no consistency to what it chooses to see or not see. Edit (Month Later): I moved the volleyball poles away from the border wire a few feet so the landroid could easily get between the border and poles when cutting. Since then I've only had one instance where it ran into a pole.

Easy to Install and Works as Advertised
The Worx robotic mower, Landroid, is supported by occasionally updated Firmware (software). Currently (as of June 2020) it is not possible to turn the ACS system on & off by smartphone app. Once installed, ACS remains 'on' constantly during unit operation. This 'on/off' option has been promised by Worx to be included in the next Firmware update. I would very much like this option as I've built a 'garage' around my Landroid's charging station and I'd like to have slit rubber mats acting as 'doors' at the entrance and exit of this station. But currently can't do this with the ACS active as it would see these mats as obstructions. I'd like to have ACS come 'on' say after a 5-sec delay when Landroid starts. That way it could leave garage passing through the slotted exit mat. When coming 'home' for a battery re-charge, I'd also like to have the ACS turned off, so it can enter charging station through the entrance mat.

This add-on feature works fine.
This installable module works great and stopping the Landroid from bumping into objects. It works as described. But given the fact that Worx is not supporting their products I plan on returning the lawnmower and all added features to Amazon for a refund and looking closely at other manufacturers of Robotic Lawnmowers. I decided to keep the mower and learn to support it myself. . After one year of using the Lanlord as a back yard mower I have changed my opinion on it. While it is difficult to setup. Once the initial laying of guide wires is complete and the inevitable changes to the initial design this Robotic Lawnmower works great. It keep my 1/2 acre lawn cut perfectly. It does require some periodic maintenance like replacing the blades but otherwise I am very happy with the mower. The fact that it will only run on a 2.4 GH Wi-Fi channel is something I wish Worx would change because 2.4 GH has a lot of traffic on it. I have to add a router end point in my attic for the Worx Lanlord to be able to stay connected to Wi-Fi. Otherwise all is good.

Better but needs improvement
Still bumps into objects at or higher than 5". It's an improvement, but far from 100% in terms of being able to see objects in front of it. I'm a little disappointed in that I expected it to be better but I'm still OK with the purchase as the unit performs better with it than without it

ABSOLUTE MUST HAVE
Although not required to run this mower, you will want the ACS hardware to mow more efficiently around obstacles. One instance is a 25x25 shed that is just tall enough for the mower to get stuck half way. Another instance is running over items and getting stuck.... THIS ACS HARDWARE RESOLVED ALL MY HEADACHES. The mower mows so more more smoothly as it maneuvers through the yard. I had a robomow rs622 model for almost 5 years. I am very happy about this unit. Also purchased the HOOD/House for the base charger to protect from the hot sun. THANK YOU WORX!

Good but...
It recognizes trees, but stop crashes into stones and everything what's not huge. Could be optimized.

interesting
it can see a car , but not the tires , it can see a small tree , but tries to run over a shrub , it certainly uses the bump guard on the fence and decorative stone edging , and the tire is what it needs to fear ...lol

Stops running into the trees
I bought this after seeing mixed reviews about it. It now steers the bot within mm of trees and avoids them. It is driving around my trampoline. Before adding this it was hitting everything. This does not give it depth perception as it still will go over my curb. I'm hoping that it saves the sensors and the bot lasts longer as it is not constantly hitting things. It is an expensive add on and may make the bot safer, but it already is safe as it stops the blades as soon as it is lifted and it is fully enclosed. I would buy it again as it may steer around something someone left in the yard and the bot may last longer. The install is very easy and will take you 5 minutes. All of the tools and screws are included.

Basically useless
If there's a patch of high grass, the mower will simply go around when the radar is installed! Over a 3 weeks period, the situation just got worse to the point I had to deactivate it completely. It has also troubles avoiding objects that are less than 5 inches high, so makes this device useless basically.
