Robot mowers for yards under trees

Of 47 US models we track, 12 fit this yard, 12 can't be confirmed from what the manufacturer publishes, and 23 are ruled out.

Tree canopy can block the satellite signal RTK mowers rely on. Our rule rules out models that position by satellite alone, with a verified absence of camera positioning. This is our editorial rule, not a manufacturer guarantee; it says nothing about how well any model performs under your trees.

Which US robot mowers fit a half-acre lawn under heavy tree cover, based on manufacturer specs and one stated editorial rule.
