Boundary wires might be rapidly becoming a thing of the past, but modern robot lawn mower navigation tech isn't without its problems. Most lawnbots find their way around using satellites, with an RTK receiver to make the location information more precise. Sometimes, this is combined with backup technology like VSLAM and/or cameras.
Mammotion's newest launch takes things to another level, with a triple-pronged approach that includes RTK, a 3D camera and solid-state LiDAR. The inclusion of LiDAR is the most interesting (so interesting that Mammotion has called it out in the product name: the LUBA mini AWD LiDAR) – this is the navigation tech powering today's best robot vacuums, but I've never seen it used in a robot mower before.
