"Lidar technology enables mowers to cut grass under thick tree canopies or near tall buildings where GPS signals usually fail, enhancing their operational capabilities."
"AI vision allows robot mowers to recognize lawn areas and obstacles, but excessive sensitivity can cause them to stop for minor obstructions like fallen branches."
"Newer robot mowers are designed to handle rough terrain, with options for interchangeable tires to improve grip on steep inclines and uneven ground."
"While edge cutting has improved with offset blades and overhanging sections, many mowers still struggle to cut grass all the way to the edge of the lawn."
Lidar technology allows robot mowers to map terrain in 3D, enabling effective grass cutting under obstacles where GPS fails. AI vision helps mowers recognize areas and avoid obstacles, though sensitivity can lead to unnecessary stops. Newer models combine these technologies for improved navigation and obstacle avoidance. They can handle rough terrain, with some offering interchangeable tires. Edge cutting has improved with offset blades and built-in trimmers, but challenges remain in achieving a clean cut to the lawn's edge.
