Kress Commercial unveiled its latest breakthrough in autonomous mowing technology, KR800 or “Voyager,” at Equip Expo 2025 in Louisville, Kentucky and is now inviting landscape business owners to take a deeper dive into its capabilities.
On February 12, 2026, at 2 p.m. EST, Kress will host a virtual live event out of Longboat Key for landscapers interested in leveling up their business. In addition to a live demonstration, a panel of leaders who have integrated Voyager into their own businesses will share their experiences as well as answer questions from attendees.

Voyager is designed primarily for route-based landscaping operations and represents a significant leap forward in commercial-grade automation by helping crews overcome persistent labor challenges while boosting productivity and profitability.
Kress Voyager is an autonomous, 40-inch robotic mower engineered to work seamlessly within landscaping companies’ existing service models. Equipped with a fusion of real-time kinematic (RTK) technology, LiDAR, VisionAI and high-tech sensors, Voyager operates boundary-wire-free with centimeter-level accuracy and the sophistication typical of autonomous cars. After a simple, one-time mapping process, Voyager travels with the crew from property to property with infinite map memory capability. While crews focus on high-skilled, detailed landscaping tasks, Voyager handles the bulk work in the background autonomously, efficiently and emission-free.
Voyager mows up to seven acres or eight hours per charge and operates at a rate comparable to, or faster than, traditional on-site crew tasks. With a mowing speed of 5.6 mph, it can also travel between properties in dense HOA-style neighborhoods, trailer-free, making it ideal for high-efficiency route work.
Key features of Kress KR800 Voyager include:
- RTK-precision mowing with centimeter-level accuracy
- Boundary-wire-free navigation
- 360-degree multi-sensor obstacle detection and avoidance, including LiDAR, Vision AI and ultrasonic sensors
- 1.5 to 5-inch adjustable cutting height
- Maximum slope of 40%, or 20 degrees
- Ride-on mode for initial mapping and cross-property travel
- All-day runtime with zero emissions
- 5,000-hour service life
- Full integration with the Kress Fleet Management System
