Segway Unveils Robotic Lawnmower at CES 2024

Segway, a developer of robotics solutions, unveiled its new autonomous robotic lawnmower, the Navimow i, at this year’s CES, which took place in Las Vegas last week. 

The wireless lawnmower is fitted with Exact Fusion Locating System (EFLS) 2.0 for autonomous navigation. The system uses real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning for more accurate location tracking. 

The lawnmower series also comes with an AI-powered mapping assistant, allowing the robot to visually map its surroundings, analyze where it needs to go and avoid any obstacles. 

“By deep fusion of the data acquired from the vision system…the mower’s positioning skills are made more precise than ever before,” the company said in a statement. “Additionally, the combination helps the machine tackle different residence scenarios more easily,

“For larger yards with open spaces, the mower uses RTK positioning, but for yards dense with trees and bushes, the mower can intelligently switch to the vision system for better localization.”

Using a mobile-based app, users can manage and monitor the mower, schedule mow times and set “systematic cutting patterns”.

“We’re excited to bring the Navimow i Series to global consumers, especially users in the U.S.,” said George Ren, Segway Navimow’s CEO. “We believe the convenience, intelligence and smart features of the Navimow i Series will bring the mowing experience of the future a step closer to reality for consumers.”
