Husqvarna Automower 580 EPOS Commercial Robotic Lawn Mower

High-Capacity Commercial Robotic Mower with EPOS, 80W Cutting Motor, Radar & Optional AI Vision

The Husqvarna Automower® 580 EPOS® is a high-capacity professional autonomous mower engineered for demanding commercial turf applications including sports fields, schools and universities, municipalities, parks, corporate campuses, hospitals, resorts, commercial properties and other professionally maintained green spaces.

Built for applications requiring frequent mowing and exceptional turf quality, the 580 EPOS combines Husqvarna EPOS® wire-free RTK-GNSS positioning, an extraordinarily powerful 80W cutting motor, systematic pattern mowing, radar obstacle detection, a floating commercial cutting system, five-blade cutting disc, Husqvarna Fleet Services™ and compatibility with Husqvarna's optional AI-assisted Vision Technology Accessory.

The 580 EPOS can maintain up to 2 acres in 24 hours under Sports 24 operation or 4 acres in 48 hours under Standard 48 operation. That makes it a major step up from the Automower 560 EPOS for larger commercial properties and demanding sports-turf applications.

Add the optional Husqvarna Vision Technology Accessory and the mower gains an AI-assisted camera system capable of visually detecting and avoiding objects including balls, animals, clothing and standing water, with infrared illumination supporting object recognition during both daytime and nighttime operation.

For professional turf managers looking to automate repetitive mowing while retaining control over cut height, mowing patterns, work areas, schedules and fleet operations, the Automower 580 EPOS provides a powerful commercial autonomous mowing platform.

Husqvarna Automower 580 EPOS at a Glance

Husqvarna's current U.S. specifications list the 580 EPOS at 4 acres/48 hours, 2 acres/24 hours, 0.125 acre/hour excluding charging, an 8Ah battery, 120-minute typical mowing time, 55-minute charge time, 10.2-inch cutting width and 0.8–2.4-inch cutting range.

High-Capacity Commercial Autonomous Mowing – Up to 4 Acres

The Automower 580 EPOS is designed around continuous professional operation rather than mowing a property once per week.

Husqvarna provides two primary commercial capacity ratings:

Standard 48

Up to 4 acres in 48 hours

Sports 24

Up to 2 acres in 24 hours

The mower can cover approximately 0.125 acre per operating hour when charging time is excluded.

That additional productivity makes the 580 EPOS especially attractive for:

• Sports fields
• Athletic complexes
• Schools
• Universities
• Parks
• Municipal properties
• Corporate campuses
• Hospitals
• Hotels and resorts
• Commercial facilities
• Large professionally maintained landscapes

For properties larger than a single mower's capacity, multiple 580 EPOS units can be deployed and managed as a fleet.

Powerful 80W Commercial Cutting Motor

Built for Thick, Fast-Growing Professional Turf

One of the biggest differences between the 560 EPOS and 580 EPOS is underneath the mower.

The 580 EPOS uses an extraordinarily powerful 80W cutting motor housed in an aluminum frame for increased durability and cooling.

Husqvarna specifically engineered the system to provide strong cutting performance on intensively fertilized turf with heavy, fast grass growth.

That's particularly important for applications such as:

• Sports fields
• Athletic complexes
• High-maintenance commercial turf
• Irrigated properties
• Fertilized turf
• Fast-growing grass
• Areas requiring frequent mowing

This isn't simply a 560 with a larger acreage rating.

The 580 is designed for more demanding cutting conditions and greater commercial productivity.

Optional AI Vision Technology

A Commercial Robotic Mower That Can Understand What It's Seeing

The Automower 580 EPOS comes standard with radar-based object detection and is compatible with Husqvarna's optional Vision Technology Accessory.

The Vision accessory adds an AI-assisted camera system capable of visually identifying and classifying objects on the turf.

Husqvarna specifically identifies objects including:

• Balls
• Animals
• Clothing
• Standing water

The mower can identify the object, avoid it and continue mowing.

This provides an additional layer of environmental awareness beyond conventional obstacle sensing.

For sports fields, schools, universities and other active commercial properties, that's an important capability.

AI Vision for Sports Fields

Sports turf isn't an empty lawn.

Objects left behind can include:

• Soccer balls
• Footballs
• Baseballs
• Softballs
• Tennis balls
• Training equipment
• Clothing
• Towels
• Other field objects

Husqvarna specifically confirms that its AI-assisted Vision technology can classify balls and clothing.

For athletic facilities that want robotic mowing to operate during periods when equipment or other objects may occasionally remain on the turf, Vision adds another layer of object awareness.

Detection can still depend on object size, visibility, environmental conditions and positioning, so specific object types should not be treated as guaranteed detections unless Husqvarna specifically confirms them.

What About Golf Balls?

Husqvarna states that its AI Vision system recognizes the object category “balls.” However, Husqvarna's current U.S. documentation does not specifically guarantee golf-ball detection.

For that reason, Automation Hub does not represent golf-ball avoidance as a guaranteed capability without application testing.

The underlying technology remains particularly interesting for golf and sports turf because the mower can combine:

EPOS Positioning + Radar + Optional AI Vision

For golf applications where ball avoidance is critical, Automation Hub can evaluate the application and test performance under representative operating conditions.

AI Vision Works at Night

Commercial autonomous mowing doesn't have to stop when daylight ends.

The optional Vision Technology Accessory incorporates infrared illumination, allowing the AI-assisted camera system to operate during both daylight and nighttime conditions.

That allows facilities to schedule autonomous mowing during lower-traffic periods such as:

• Overnight
• Early mornings
• After athletic events
• Between practices
• Outside business hours
• Before facilities open

For commercial properties, expanding the available mowing window can dramatically improve autonomous mowing productivity.

Radar + AI Vision + EPOS

The 580 EPOS can combine three different technologies for three different jobs.

EPOS

Determines where the mower is and establishes where it is permitted to operate.

Radar

Helps detect physical objects and obstacles in the mower's path.

Optional AI Vision

Helps the mower visually recognize and classify what it sees.

Together, the platform can combine:

Centimeter-Level Positioning + Radar Object Detection + AI-Assisted Computer Vision

The Vision accessory supplements rather than replaces the mower's onboard radar system.

That multi-sensor approach is particularly valuable in dynamic commercial environments.

Husqvarna EPOS® Wire-Free Technology

The 580 EPOS eliminates traditional perimeter wire from the primary mowing installation.

Husqvarna's Exact Positioning Operating System (EPOS®) uses satellite-based RTK-GNSS positioning to provide accuracy down to approximately 2 cm under appropriate conditions.

Virtual boundaries can be used to establish:

• Work areas
• Stay-out zones
• Transport paths
• Charging areas
• Maintenance points
• Different mowing schedules
• Different cutting heights
• Different mowing patterns

For commercial facilities where the property layout or operating requirements can change, virtual boundaries provide significant flexibility.

EPOS RS5 Reference Station Required

The Automower 580 EPOS requires an:

Husqvarna EPOS RS5 Reference Station

The reference station is required and is not included with the mower.

Automation Hub can help plan the correct EPOS infrastructure based on:

• Property size
• Number of robotic mowers
• Satellite visibility
• Buildings
• Trees
• Terrain
• Work areas
• Charging locations
• Future fleet expansion

For commercial projects, we recommend evaluating the complete property before determining mower quantity and EPOS infrastructure.

Selectable Professional Mowing Patterns

The 580 EPOS doesn't have to produce the random appearance traditionally associated with robotic lawn mowers.

EPOS allows professional operators to choose systematic mowing patterns.

Husqvarna identifies patterns including:

• Parallel lines
• Diamonds
• Triangles
• Checkerboard

This is especially attractive for sports fields, schools, universities, corporate campuses and other highly visible professional turf where presentation matters.

Customized Work Areas

A commercial property rarely has identical requirements across every area.

The 580 EPOS allows operators to create individual work areas with their own settings.

Different areas can have unique:

• Mowing schedules
• Cutting heights
• Mowing patterns

For example, a university can configure athletic turf differently from surrounding campus lawns.

A sports complex can configure individual fields based on usage schedules.

One autonomous mower can therefore perform multiple mowing assignments according to where it is working.

Virtual Transport Paths

The 580 EPOS can use virtual transport paths to move between separated work areas.

This allows the mower to autonomously travel across designated non-mowing routes to reach another work zone.

For a large campus or sports complex, this can help one robotic mower service multiple nearby areas rather than requiring personnel to manually transport it between every mowing zone.

Temporary Stay-Out Zones

Commercial properties change constantly.

With EPOS, operators can create temporary digital exclusion areas without physically changing the installation.

Potential applications include:

• Construction
• Seeding
• Turf repair
• Aeration
• Irrigation work
• Athletic events
• Outdoor events
• Temporary structures
• Damaged turf
• Areas undergoing recovery

Husqvarna specifically identifies temporary construction, seeding and events as examples for stay-out zones.

When the restriction is no longer needed, the digital zone can be removed.

EPOS Guidance

The 580 EPOS automatically calculates an efficient route to and from its charging station.

EPOS Guidance can also vary the route the mower takes across the turf rather than repeatedly traveling over the exact same path.

For professionally maintained turf, reducing repetitive wheel tracks can be an important advantage.

Floating Commercial Cutting System

Professional turf isn't perfectly flat.

The 580 EPOS uses a spring-loaded floating cutting system designed to adapt to ground contours and uneven surfaces.

As terrain changes beneath the mower, the cutting assembly can better follow the surface to help maintain a consistent cutting result.

This is particularly valuable for:

• Sports turf
• Rolling commercial properties
• Uneven ground
• Intensively maintained turf
• High-visibility landscapes

5-Blade Commercial Cutting Disc

The 580 EPOS uses a professional five-blade cutting disc rather than the three-blade configuration commonly found on residential Automower models.

The commercial platform uses five Enhance HSS pivoting blades, designed for increased cutting performance and longer blade-change intervals.

Cutting Width

10.2 inches

Cutting Height

0.8–2.4 inches

Cutting Height Adjustment

Electric

The mower also supports dual cutting direction and includes a skid plate.

Need to Cut Below 0.8 Inch?

This distinction is important.

The standard 580 EPOS has an approximately 0.8–2.4 inch cutting-height range.

For specialized low-cut golf and sports turf requiring cutting heights down to approximately 0.4 inch, Husqvarna offers the Automower 580L EPOS. Husqvarna identifies the 580L as exclusive to Golf and Sports Turf dealers.

That gives Automation Hub a natural qualification question:

What are you cutting, how many acres, and what cut height do you need?

Those answers can help determine whether the application fits the 560 EPOS, 580 EPOS, 580L EPOS, CEORA or another autonomous mowing platform.

Reinforced Rubberized Front Bumper

Commercial machines operate in demanding environments.

The 580 EPOS incorporates a reinforced rubberized front bumper designed to reduce impact forces during collisions with hard objects.

Combined with radar object detection and optional AI Vision, this adds another layer of protection for professional operation.

Quick-Release Cutting Disc

Commercial equipment needs to be serviceable quickly.

The 580 EPOS uses a one-bolt quick-release cutting disc for fast removal of the cutting assembly.

A maintenance department can keep a second cutting disc prepared with fresh blades, swap assemblies and return the mower to operation while servicing the removed disc separately.

That can help reduce commercial downtime.

Handles Slopes Up to 45%

The Automower 580 EPOS is rated for slopes up to:

45% Inside the Installation

and approximately:

20% at the Boundary

Large coarse-tread wheels help provide traction across uneven and sloping commercial turf.

Maintenance Point – Let the Robot Come to You

Instead of having maintenance personnel search a large property for the robot, the 580 EPOS can be instructed to come to a predetermined location.

Operators can designate a Maintenance Point on the digital map.

On command, the mower autonomously travels there and waits for:

• Cleaning
• Blade replacement
• Inspection
• Service
• Loading
• Storage

For large campuses and multi-field sports facilities, this is a small feature that can save meaningful staff time.

appDrive Remote Control

Grounds personnel can manually drive the 580 EPOS from a smartphone using appDrive.

This can assist with:

• Initial installation
• Moving between workspaces
• Repositioning the mower
• Moving to a service facility
• Loading or unloading

The machine remains autonomous during normal operation while giving personnel manual control when needed.

Dock by Wire

Although the 580 EPOS uses satellite positioning for normal mowing, Husqvarna also provides Dock by Wire.

A local wire corridor can guide the robot to a charging station located in an area without adequate satellite coverage.

This gives commercial operators more flexibility to protect the charging station:

• Near a building
• Under a roof
• In a protected equipment area
• In a garage-type enclosure
• In another location with limited satellite visibility

It's an important real-world feature for RTK-based commercial installations.

Husqvarna Fleet Services™

The 580 EPOS integrates with Husqvarna Fleet Services™, allowing professional operators to monitor, control and analyze equipment remotely from a smartphone, tablet or computer.

Fleet managers can oversee:

• Individual robotic mowers
• Multiple robots
• Operating status
• Schedules
• Work areas
• Cutting heights
• Mowing patterns
• Locations
• Alerts
• Fleet information

For schools, universities, municipalities, commercial landscapers and other organizations operating multiple robots, centralized fleet management is a major advantage.

Enhanced Remote Start

If a mower experiences an unplanned stop, supported situations can be addressed remotely through the connected platform.

Husqvarna provides enhanced remote-start functionality, allowing an operator to restart a stopped mower from the mobile app when appropriate.

On a large property, avoiding unnecessary trips across the site simply to restart a robot can save substantial time.

FOTA – Firmware Over the Air

Firmware upgrades can be delivered remotely through Husqvarna Fleet Services.

FOTA – Firmware Over The Air allows supported software updates to be performed without physically connecting to each mower.

That's particularly valuable when managing a fleet rather than a single machine.

Built-In Theft Protection

The 580 EPOS includes commercial security features such as:

• GPS theft tracking
• GeoFence
• PIN protection
• Alarm
• Connected notifications

For autonomous equipment operating outside and potentially at night, connected security is an important part of fleet management.

Warning Lights for Commercial Environments

The 580 EPOS incorporates warning lights with pulsating or solid illumination to improve awareness of the machine during operation, particularly at night.

This is especially relevant for:

• Schools
• Universities
• Parks
• Municipalities
• Hospitals
• Resorts
• Commercial campuses
• Sports complexes

Designed for Professional Weather Exposure

The 580 EPOS is designed to operate 24/7 throughout the grass-growing season, subject to normal cleaning and maintenance.

Its free-hanging razor-blade cutting system is designed to continue producing a cutting result even during rainy conditions.

The mower carries an:

IPX5 Protection Rating

and can be cleaned using a water hose.

180° Professional Service Position

The mower's body incorporates a rubber support that allows it to rest securely upside down in a 180° service position.

This provides easier access for:

• Cleaning
• Blade changes
• Cutting-disc service
• Inspections
• Routine maintenance

The same design also helps protect the mower during service and transport.

Safety Sensors

The 580 EPOS incorporates multiple safety systems.

If the mower is lifted or tips over, the cutting function is designed to shut down immediately.

When the mower encounters an obstacle, it can stop or change direction.

Radar object detection and the optional AI Vision system add additional environmental awareness.

Commercial Applications

Sports Fields & Athletic Facilities

The 580 EPOS is particularly well suited for demanding sports turf.

Potential applications include:

• Soccer fields
• Football fields
• Baseball and softball complexes
• Practice fields
• Athletic campuses
• Multi-field sports facilities

Its combination of 2-acre/24-hour Sports capacity, powerful 80W cutting motor, systematic patterns, floating cutting system, EPOS navigation, radar and optional AI Vision capable of recognizing balls makes sports turf one of its strongest applications.

Schools & Universities

Autonomous mowing can handle repetitive turf maintenance while grounds personnel focus on:

• Athletic field preparation
• Irrigation
• Landscaping
• Trimming and edging
• Turf health
• Repairs
• Other skilled grounds work

Municipalities & Parks

Virtual boundaries and temporary stay-out zones provide flexibility around:

• Events
• Festivals
• Construction
• Seeding
• Turf renovation
• Maintenance projects

Corporate & Commercial Campuses

Maintain highly visible turf consistently while reducing the number of repetitive mowing hours assigned to grounds personnel.

Hospitals & Healthcare Campuses

Quiet electric autonomous mowing can reduce dependence on conventional mowing equipment across large healthcare properties.

Hotels & Resorts

Autonomous mowing can be scheduled around guest traffic while systematic mowing patterns help maintain a professional appearance.

What About Golf?

The 580 EPOS can be relevant to certain golf-property applications, but cut height should be one of the first qualification questions.

The standard 580 EPOS cuts from approximately 0.8–2.4 inches.

Potential applications may include suitable:

• Rough
• Driving-range areas
• Practice facilities
• Clubhouse grounds
• Peripheral turf
• Other compatible maintained areas

For lower-cut golf turf, the upcoming page you'll want to emphasize is the 580L EPOS, which is Husqvarna's specialized low-cut Golf and Sports Turf version.

Automation Hub can evaluate the cut height, acreage, terrain, mowing frequency and desired application before recommending the appropriate machine.

Husqvarna 560 EPOS vs. 580 EPOS

This comparison absolutely belongs on both product pages.

*Excluding charging time. Current Husqvarna specifications establish the 560 at 3 acres/48 hours and 1.5 acres/24 hours, while the 580 increases those capacities to 4 and 2 acres respectively.

Consider the 560 EPOS when:

The application requires a professional commercial robot but 1.5 acres/24 hours or 3 acres/48 hours provides sufficient capacity, or terrain includes slopes approaching 50%.

Consider the 580 EPOS when:

You need greater productivity, up to 2 acres/24 hours or 4 acres/48 hours, or the property has thick, intensively maintained or fast-growing turf where its 80W cutting motor is particularly valuable.

Why Autonomous Mowing?

Commercial robotic mowing isn't simply about replacing a conventional mower.

The larger opportunity is to automate one of the grounds team's most repetitive tasks.

Instead of repeatedly driving over the same turf, skilled employees can spend more time on:

• Trimming
• Edging
• Landscaping
• Irrigation
• Turf health
• Athletic-field preparation
• Equipment maintenance
• Repairs
• Facility preparation
• Other work requiring human judgment

The autonomous mower handles repetitive mowing while people focus on higher-value work.
