STMicroelectronics’ chips power robotic lawnmowers from Segway

by

STMicroelectronics, a semiconductor company, has collaborated with Segway to equip its latest range of robotic lawnmowers with precision positioning and extended satellite-signal coverage bringing their operational efficiency and safety to the next level.

Reliable and precise satellite navigation is crucial for boundary-wire-free robotic lawnmowers to be able to autonomously navigate and operate safely. Adjacent tall buildings or trees can impact satellite reception.

To be able to operate safely at the edge of stairs or steep slopes, satellite signal coverage cannot be spotty and must be guaranteed. [Read more…] about STMicroelectronics’ chips power robotic lawnmowers from Segway

Segway’s Navimow robotic lawn mower range wins seven awards at CES

by

Segway Navimow, the robotic lawn mower arm of Segway, received seven awards at CES 2025 − hosted in Las Vegas at the start of this month – for its lineup of robotic lawn mowers. Showcasing a portfolio comprised of the X3 Series, i Series and H Series, the successes highlight the brand’s position at the forefront of automated lawncare.

The X3 Series, which will launch in Spring this year, is designed to maintain up to 2.5-acre (10,000 sq m) lawns with unparalleled efficiency by leveraging a self-developed EFLS 3.0 -enhanced RTK coverage system, vSLAM (Visual Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping), and VIO (Visual Inertial Odometry) technologies.

The machine received three awards at the show, including acknowledgements in the following categories: Geekspin’s ‘Best of CES 2025’, The Ambient’s “Best in Show” and ZDNet’s “Best Robot Lawn Mower at CES 2025”. [Read more…] about Segway’s Navimow robotic lawn mower range wins seven awards at CES
