Robot lawn mowers had a big moment at CES 2026 – and it wasn’t just about bigger batteries or shinier designs.
The launches this year underline a clear shift towards wire-free setup, more reliable navigation, and less faffing once it's actually in your garden. Instead of relying on a buried boundary wire (or guessing where it is), the newest models are increasingly using a mix of sensors to “understand” your lawn and make autonomous decisions.
