We Are Experts in Green Care

Our engineers and technicians have built one of the most advanced and field-proven autonomous mowing systems in Europe.

Built for OEMs. Proven in the Field.

Since 2000, SMAUT’s team has delivered over 90,000 control units and built deep autonomy know-how. We now enable professional mowing machines to operate autonomously across solar parks, vineyards, airports and more.
Lower Operating Costs
Cut labor needs and boost machine productivity.
Safer Terrain Operation

Reduce risk for operators in slopes and restricted zones.
OEM-Ready Platform

Fast integration, scalable design, and CE certification support.

Experts in Green Care

Our engineers and technicians have built one of the most advanced and field-proven autonomous mowing systems in Europe.

Spider Autonomous 2.0

Already in operation across solar parks and infrastructure sites in 6 countries, it proves that real autonomy is here – tested, certified and working.
Spider Autonomous 2.0 is already operating in real conditions across Spain, the United Kingdom, Italy, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, and Austria.
80 000 + ha covered in solar parks
8,500 m²/hour productivity
CE-certified and safety tested
GPS-RTK with centimeter-level accuracy
Designed for sloped, uneven, and complex terrain

Partners Who Trust Our Technology

What Drives Us Forward?

At SMAUT, our mission and vision reflect our real-world expertise in autonomous mowing, green care, and robotic control systems. We create modular, field-tested solutions that power UGVs and boost efficiency in professional terrain maintenance.

SMAUT Mission

„We automate repetitive tasks in demanding outdoor environments through robust and easy-to-integrate autonomous control systems – with a focus on green care and terrain maintenance.“

SMAUT Vision

„SMAUT aims to be an essential technology partner for manufacturers of professional outdoor machines – enabling the development and integration of complete autonomy systems that boost efficiency, safety, and long-term performance in green care applications.“

Experts in Green Care

Good autonomy starts where the terrain gets tough.
Vincenc Šopík is the Co-founder of SMAUT Technology and leads its R&D. With a background in electrical engineering, he has worked on autonomous systems since the early 2000s – especially in demanding green care environments.


He combines real-world mowing experience with deep technical insight. Known for his hands-on approach, he built the engineering team from scratch and helped turn SMAUT’s field-tested solutions into scalable autonomous technology.
