Vision

Our vision is to work green areas in an ecological, economical and automated manner using minimal resources.

  • Ecology
    • Reduction of soil compaction
    • Low drive power requirement
    • Low emissions
  • Economy
    • High acreage performance, swarm technology possible
    • Low purchase and maintenance costs
    • Low fuel consumption
  • Automation
    • Minimal operator effort
    • Fatigue-free work due to semi-autonomy
    • Maximum productivity and continuously reliable work results

Area of application

  • Flat and level meadow
  • Plots with few obstacles and no trees 
  • Wet, moist soil conditions
  • Areas that are currently worked with a tractor
  • Forage harvesting, cleaning cuts
  • Maximum slope inclination up to 30%

Customer statements

Statements from our test customers

  • What advantages do you expect from the Rapid COSMOS?

    «I save myself the first pass of the rotor, have very low fuel consumption and don't have to wash the mower at the end of the year. The aim is also to mow areas under trees by radio - that way I protect the ground and the tractor cab. Last year it was so wet that driving was hardly possible - but with the COSMOS it still works.»

Current status

The Rapid COSMOS is still not available as a commercial product.

In 2025, a total of ten rental machines were available exclusively in Switzerland, which were mainly used for testing and evaluation purposes. At the same time, the first user demonstrations were held in Germany and Austria to introduce the COSMOS concept to a wider specialist audience.

The COSMOS will still not be commercially available in 2026. However, it is planned that individual machines will once again be put into operation in Switzerland to gather further practical experience and deepen existing insights.

Based on the results from the 2025 test phase, development work on higher levels of automation has been intensified. The focus is increasingly on the system’s autonomous operation. Initial trials with a sensor system designed to increase the level of automation have been promising and confirm the technical feasibility of further expansion stages.

Workflow

  • Step 1

    The outer edge of the field to be cultivated is worked by radio remote control. The operator can ride along on the running board.

    The machine records the field and saves the outer boundary. The area within this contour is defined as the area to be worked.

  • Step 2

    The operator selects from the proposed driving pattern strategies:

    1. First, two further laps are processed in the opposite direction along the defined outer boundary to create space for turning manoeuvres.
    2. The direction of travel and the driving pattern are determined by the operator.
    3. The COMOS app calculates the driving pattern according to the selected strategy and starts the work.
  • Step 3

    The operator must monitor the work at all times and, in an emergency, stop the machine using the radio remote control. The plan is to automate this process gradually. As automation increases, the operator will in future be relieved of the obligation to be present and monitor the process continuously for defined periods of time.

  • Step 4

    As soon as the machine has finished processing the field, it returns to the starting point.

  • Step 5

    The machine creates the processing protocol and finishes the work.
