Robot lawn mowers
Wire-free robot mowers for home lawns
Introduction
- Category
- Home lawn robot: an autonomous mower that cuts on a schedule and returns to its charging station.
- What it does
- Mows a mapped lawn, often with LiDAR, RTK satellite positioning or cameras instead of a buried boundary wire, and handles slopes up to its rated grade.Source: [1] Segway Navimow, [2] Mammotion, [3] Worx
- Maturity
- Sold mainstream by several brands. The newest models skip the boundary wire entirely.Source: [1] Segway Navimow, [2] Mammotion, [4] Husqvarna, [5] ECOVACS, [3] Worx
