In this blog, we will introduce our Over-The-Air (OTA) firmware updates and explore the function, purpose, and steps to follow for upgrading and updating your RoboUP mower.

What is OTA?

Over-the-Air (OTA) is a function integrated into 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?

OTA updates are extremely fast and hassle-free. By leveraging the internet connectivity of RoboUP robot mowers via Wi-Fi, the device can securely connect to our servers. Our engineers regularly develop and release updates, enhancing route planning algorithms, safety features, and overall performance. All data stored in RoboUP robot lawn mowers are strictly protected, in accordance with RoboUP's privacy policy.

When an update becomes available, the new firmware is seamlessly uploaded to the server. Customers can easily access upgrades through just 3 simple steps:

1. Check if there are any upgrades available in the DEVICE UPGRADE interface within the RoboUP App.

2. Make sure the Wi-Fi connection during the upgrade is stable so the process won't get interrupted.

3. Tap on DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL. The upgrade will be done by the RoboUP robot mower itself, typically within 15 minutes, depending on the firmware size and network quality.

All the upgrades via OTA are aimed at ensuring that your RoboUP robot mower stays up-to-date without requiring any complex manual intervention on your part. OTA updates represent a cornerstone of RoboUP's commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction.
