What Relox Robotics does

Relox Robotics AB is a Swedish private robotics company founded in 2018 and headquartered in Bromma, Stockholm, that develops and sells the Range Picker™, a fully autonomous, battery-powered robot designed to collect golf balls from driving ranges. The product is built on a GPS RTK navigation system delivering centimetre-level precision, runs on ROS 2 software architecture, and is capable of collecting up to 60,000 golf balls per day without human intervention, including operation in wet conditions where heavier equipment cannot function. An optional solar panel, a dedicated remote-monitoring mobile app, and an integrated water-based ball cleaning and transport system broaden the product surface beyond core collection.

The company sells the Range Picker at a publicly listed price of €39,500 (excluding VAT) through a hybrid go-to-market: an exclusive European distribution agreement with Husqvarna Group signed January 2026 (first deliveries Q1 2026), direct enterprise field sales in North America, and regional distributors such as GolfTech in Austria. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales bundled with installation, GPS mapping, and staff training, plus ongoing technical-support services. As of September 2025, the company had deployed over 100 robots across North America, Europe, and other regions, with named customers including Congressional Country Club, Liberty National Golf Club, PGA Frisco, Hills Golf & Sports Club, Golfclub Wien-Schwechat, and Duchell Golf Course.

The company operates with a headcount of 11–50 employees, has raised approximately $1.13M across four disclosed funding rounds since inception (the largest a ~$1.02M round from Almi Invest in September 2022), and maintains strategic R&D and distribution partnerships with Dyno Robotics, Husqvarna Group, and GolfTech. Recent participation at the PGA Show 2026, BTME 2026, and TechArena 2026 indicates an active expansion into the U.S., UK, and broader European markets.

Core offering

Relox Robotics sells the Range Picker™, a fully autonomous, battery-powered golf ball collection robot for driving ranges. The robot uses GPS RTK navigation to collect up to 60,000 balls per day without human intervention, self-charges, and automatically dumps balls, replacing manual range-picking labor at golf facilities. Units are priced at €39,500 ex-VAT in Europe and come with on-site installation, GPS mapping, and staff training.

Product overview

Relox Robotics offers a single unified product: the Range Picker™ autonomous golf ball collector. This one product handles all aspects of driving range ball collection—autonomous navigation using GPS RTK technology, ball collection, self-charging, and automated ball dumping. There are no separate modules, add-ons, or platform components; the product operates as a complete, standalone solution deployed at golf facilities worldwide. Pricing is offered at €39,500 excluding VAT through European distribution partner Husqvarna.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered flagship, core and minor.

• Husqvarna GroupflagshipChannel Partner/ Reseller/ Distributor · 19 January 2026Exclusive European distribution agreement for Range Picker™ autonomous ball collection technology. Partnership announced January 19, 2026 with first deliveries scheduled Q1 2026. The Range Picker is distributed exclusively through Husqvarna's established professional partner network, combining with Husqvarna's robotic mowing platforms for comprehensive golf facility automation. Senior Director Olle Markusson noted that robotics is reshaping how golf facilities operate from course maintenance to range management.
• Dyno RoboticscoreTechnology or IntegrationStrategic R&D partnership with Dyno Robotics, a specialist robotics and AI consultancy based in Linköping, Sweden. With roots at Linköping University and experience with companies like Ericsson, Scania, and Saab, Dyno brings deep expertise in ROS 2, autonomous systems, and rapid prototyping.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Echo Robotics: Echo Robotics manufactures autonomous golf ball-picking robots (Ball Picker) and robotic mowers specifically designed for golf facilities. It is the closest direct competitor to Relox Robotics' Range Picker, serving the same customer base with similar autonomous, GPS-navigated product.
• Belrobotics: Belrobotics makes Bigmow and other autonomous robotic mowers for sports fields and golf courses, including ball-picking robots. It is a direct peer serving the same autonomous-turf and range-automation customer segment with comparable GPS-guided outdoor robotics technology.

Broad incumbents

• Husqvarna Group: Husqvarna is the global leader in robotic lawn mowing (Automower) and is now Relox's exclusive European distributor. It is both a strategic partner and a broader incumbent in autonomous outdoor robotics for golf and turf facilities.
• John Deere (Autonomous Solutions): John Deere offers autonomous tractor and turf-maintenance solutions, including autonomous fairway mowers for golf courses. As a large incumbent, it represents both a potential competitor and a technology benchmark for Relox in autonomous outdoor machinery.
• Toro Company: Toro manufactures turf maintenance equipment and grounds-care machinery widely used by golf courses globally. While not directly autonomous, it represents the incumbent equipment vendor whose customer base overlaps heavily with Relox's target buyers.

Emerging players

• FireFly Automatix: FireFly Automatix builds autonomous turf equipment (e.g., autonomous fairway mowers) for golf courses and sports fields. It targets a similar autonomous-turf customer base as Relox and represents an emerging adjacent peer in golf-facility automation.
• Naio Technologies: Naio Technologies develops autonomous weeding and agricultural robots for outdoor environments using GPS and sensor-based navigation. It shares Relox's core technology stack (autonomous outdoor navigation, ROS-based architecture) and adjacent target markets in outdoor professional landscaping.
• Small Robot Company: Small Robot Company builds autonomous field robots (e.g., Tom, Harry, Dick) for agriculture and turf using GPS and AI navigation. It shares Relox's autonomous outdoor robotics technology approach but is focused on broad-acre farming rather than golf facilities.

Others

• GreenMech: GreenMech manufactures outdoor wood chippers and grounds-maintenance machinery used by landscapers, golf courses, and grounds-care professionals. It is an adjacent equipment supplier in the same golf-facility maintenance ecosystem where Relox operates.
• Trimble Inc. Trimble provides GPS RTK positioning technology and precision agriculture/turf solutions used widely in autonomous outdoor equipment. It is an enabling technology vendor in the GPS RTK stack that Relox's Range Picker relies on for centimetre-level navigation.
