No one in the loop
Designed to work the course start to finish, transitions between holes included. That is the design target the whole machine is built around.
Autonomous turf-care platform · Unit 01
The whole course.
No one in the loop.
Texaroba is building a turf-care platform designed to run a golf course start to finish — every fairway, every transition, mow to module swap. Nobody drives it. That's the whole idea.

What makes it a platform
01
02
One chassis, ten jobs
Mowing today. The chassis is designed to carry modules for the other nine jobs on the turf calendar — one machine instead of a shed full.
03
Every acre makes it smarter
It maps as it works, records what it did, and plans the next pass from it. The fleet learns together.
04
Built for dealers from day one
Sold, serviced and supported through turf-equipment dealers who already know your course and answer the phone.

/platform
One chassis.
The whole calendar.
Most machines do a job. This one is designed to hold a job description: mow today, and — as each module is built and tested — topdress, aerate, verticut and the rest, on the same chassis.
Autonomy stack
How it finds its way
Centimeter-class RTK-GNSS positioning, fused with LiDAR, cameras and IMU through visual SLAM. Compute happens on the machine — edge-first, so it doesn't stop thinking when the network does. Built on ROS 2, with obstacle detection, emergency braking and automatic re-routing.
Where the industry actually is: every autonomous turf machine on the market today, ours included, runs under human supervision. Full unsupervised operation is what this platform is designed for and what we intend to demonstrate — not what anyone ships today.

Modules
The job description
Ten core turf-care processes. The platform mows today; the other nine are designed-for, with tooling identified and testing ahead. We'll say which is which, every time.
01 · TODAY
Mow
Reel cutting gang for fairways, rotary for the rough. The job the machine does now.
02–04 · DESIGNED FOR
Fertilize · Spray · Pest control
Precision input application by module — placing product where the map says it's needed.
05–07 · DESIGNED FOR
Aerate · Verticut · Topdress
The cultural calendar — coring, thatch management and sand — on one chassis instead of a rental fleet.
08–10 · DESIGNED FOR
Blow leaves · Collect leaves · Remove dew
The repetitive clearing work that eats a morning before play starts.
Data
Every acre, remembered
The machine maps every surface it works: coverage, conditions, task history. That record feeds back into how it plans the next pass — and it stays your record. Your course. Your data. Full stop.
Chassis
Built like it means it
All-electric 4WD with dual-Ackermann steering — it turns like it's careful, because turf remembers careless. Wide flotation tires protect the root zone. The reel gang deploys ahead of the wheelbase on articulated arms.

Every figure on this page is an engineering design target, not a measured result. Runtime, throughput and cut-quality numbers are deliberately absent: we will publish them when they have been measured under test, and not before.
/courses
Your course doesn't
close at five.
Nine out of ten courses run one maintenance shift. The turf keeps growing through the other sixteen hours. Texaroba is built to work that window — so the crew you have spends its shift on the work that needs hands and judgment.
The math that matters
It isn't that you can't hire. It's what the hours cost.
The hiring market has eased. The wage bill hasn't — and labor is still the largest controllable line on the maintenance budget. A platform that covers repetitive acreage on its own doesn't replace a crew. It moves their hours to greens work, detail work, and the craft your course is actually judged on.
92%
of golf facilities operate a single maintenance shift — leaving roughly sixteen hours a day when the turf is growing and nobody is working it.

Straight answers
The questions you're already asking
Can it actually cut fine turf, or is this another rotary box?
It carries a true reel cutting gang engineered for fairway-grade work, plus rotary for the rough. Cut-quality benchmarking against a conventional triplex reel is part of our test program. We'll publish the results, not adjectives.
What does "no one in the loop" mean here?
It's our design target: run the course start to finish, including moving itself between holes and areas, without a person operating it. To be straight with you — every autonomous turf machine on the market today, ours included, still runs under human supervision. We're building for the unsupervised case and we'll show it on film before we claim it.
What happens when it meets a golfer, a dog, or a sprinkler head?
It's designed to see them first: LiDAR, cameras and ultrasonic sensing with automatic braking and re-routing. It stops, it goes around, it doesn't get impatient.
What happens when it gets stuck?
It phones home. Remote monitoring flags it, and your dealer sees the same telemetry you do. Machines get stuck sometimes — the question is how fast somebody knows.
Who owns the data it collects on my course?
You do. Course maps, task history and telemetry belong to the course. We use fleet-level learnings to improve the platform; your property stays your property.
What does it cost?
Pricing is set with our dealers, and we're not going to quote a number on a website before the machine is in the field. It's a six-figure-class capital purchase with a subscription behind it, and it's sold as a fleet, not a single unit. Your dealer will walk the math with you.
When can I see one?
GCSAA Conference & Trade Show, New Orleans, January 2027. US field testing follows; early-access courses get first calendar slots.
Early access
Get in line before the line exists.
Early-access courses help shape the test program and get first delivery slots when units ship.
/dealers
Built for dealers
from day one.
Autonomy is coming to turf equipment with or without your dealership. Texaroba is designed to arrive through it — hardware margin up front, recurring revenue behind it, and a factory that generates the demand in your territory.
The model
REVENUE 01
Hardware
Six-figure-class machines sold or leased through your dealership, in course fleets rather than single units.
REVENUE 02
Subscription
Software and platform subscription on every unit in your territory — revenue that renews.
REVENUE 03
Modules
The calendar expands module by module. Every expansion is a sale into an existing customer.
REVENUE 04
Service
Certified service and parts stay in your shop. Electric drivetrains, modular assemblies, trained techs.
Dealer margin, discount structure and territory terms are shared under agreement — not published here.
Territory
Exclusive where you are.
Territory rights are granted at the state level, with national distribution allowances for dealers who reach beyond them. Factory demand generation — GCSAA presence, national brand, inbound leads — routes to the territory holder.
Support
Factory behind you
Dealer training and certification, demo-unit programs, co-branded collateral built on the Texaroba brand system, and engineering support with a direct line to the platform team.

/company
Texas Robotics.
That's the name.
Texaroba — Texas Robotics — is headquartered in Texas and engineered by a global team of robotics, AI and turf specialists. We say plainly what's proven and what isn't, and we mark the difference everywhere it appears.
The signature
A surveyor's mark, not a robot logo
A benchmark disc is the marker sunk into the ground to fix the point everything else is measured from. That's the job we're asking this platform to do on a golf course — leave the ground measured.
Targets are labeled targets. On this site, a figure is either sourced and dated, or it is a design target and says so. When field testing completes, measured values will carry a MEASURED mark with source and date. That's our claims policy, checkable line by line.
The team
Turf people and robot people, same table
The team spans professional turf management and golf course operations, robotics and sensor-fusion engineering, and applied AI — most with a decade or more in their field.
Roadmap
Three phases, one platform
Phase I — the autonomous mowing platform, under test toward field deployment.
Phase II — the module calendar: the remaining nine core processes, built and tested one at a time.
Phase III — the intelligence layer: fleet coordination, turf-health analytics, predictive care.
Investors & partners
Building the category takes capital and allies.
