TinyMobileRobots switches U.S. fleet to Point One RTK corrections

TinyMobileRobots has moved its U.S. line-marking robots onto Point One Navigation’s RTK Corrections Network to improve centimeter-level positioning in challenging outdoor environments. The partnership supports faster, more accurate autonomous field painting as TinyMobileRobots expands its U.S. presence.

Why it matters: - TinyMobileRobots’ robots need stable positioning to paint sports fields and parking lots accurately at speed. - Point One’s corrections network is designed to keep centimeter-level accuracy when GPS is weakened by stadium structures, tree lines, and other obstructions. - The move supports faster field-marking workflows, where a bad position fix can lead to crooked lines, repainting, or delayed kickoff readiness.

What happened: - Point One Navigation said TinyMobileRobots moved its U.S. fleet onto Point One’s enterprise RTK Corrections Network. - TinyMobileRobots makes autonomous line-marking robots used on sports fields and parking lots in more than 35 countries. - The company has marked more than a million fields worldwide. - TinyMobileRobots’ robots can complete a full soccer field in about 20 minutes, compared with up to 5 hours for manual crews. - The announcement was made July 15, 2026.

The details: - Point One’s RTK Corrections Network maintains station spacing under 40 kilometers. - The network is built to deliver positional accuracy of 1–3 cm. - Point One said the dense network matters because nearby stations better reflect local atmospheric conditions. - TinyMobileRobots said the partnership aligns with its focus on giving customers the right tools for the job. - Paul Geerdes, managing director at TinyMobileRobots, said Point One brings reliable location positioning to a varied environment.

Between the lines: - The deal shows how autonomy companies are treating positioning infrastructure as a core product dependency, not a background utility. - TinyMobileRobots is expanding its U.S. footprint while the company’s precision requirements become more visible in high-profile deployments. - TinyMobileRobots was recently named the Proud Field Painting Partner of the Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center in Fayetteville, Georgia. - Aaron Nathan, CEO of Point One Navigation, called TinyMobileRobots a proof point for outdoor mobile deployments where operators should not need to know what RTK stands for.

What's next: - TinyMobileRobots is likely to continue scaling U.S. deployments on top of Point One’s corrections network. - The partnership may help reduce repainting and scheduling delays in field-marking jobs where accuracy and turnaround time both matter. - Point One says its platform is built for production autonomy and location-dependent products at scale. - Point One also offers sensor-fusion Positioning Engine software and a GraphQL-based API for deployments worldwide.

The bottom line: - TinyMobileRobots is betting that better corrections infrastructure will make autonomous field painting faster, more accurate, and easier to scale.
