Segway, the company famously known for its two-wheeled transporter, just announced its new line of robots: the Navimow. This series includes the Navimow H500E, H800E, H1500E, and H3000E, each number corresponding to the number of square meters it’s designed for.
The Navimow actually uses GPS and sensors to navigate through the lawn. This technology isn’t exactly new, but the real innovation here is that it does not require a boundary wire . This wire is normally needed for the robot to know what area it needs to work in. Virtually every robot lawn mower requires one, and the ones that do are either too expensive or hard to acquire. The Navimov is the first of its kind to be affordable.
With the dedicated smartphone app, users can specify the desired mowing area and even exclude specific areas that you want it to avoid. The path it follows is generated so as to be efficient and systematic.
