The Lymow One is a robotic lawn mower specifically designed to tackle large, complex lawns. In fact, its makers promise that this rugged lawn robot has “unmatched terrain adaptability” and can cover five times more grass than competing models (specifically, 0.23 acres per hour, or up to 1.73 acres per hour). day).
Most lawn robots have wheels, but this type comes with tracks like a tank, for improved speed and stability. It can overcome obstacles up to two inches high and traverse slopes up to 45 degrees, even if said slope is wet and slippery.
This bot is currently being shown at CES 2025, following a successful Kickstarter campaign from a relatively new brand. It’s piqued my interest specifically because founder and CEO Wangshu Gao used to head SharkNinja’s R&D department and previously also co-founded Narwal. That means you have experience with some of the best robot vacuums. and although it is not exactly the same, it seems that it has brought a lot of experience from that related market to create the Lymow One.
To begin with, special attention has been paid to navigation; Like many newer lawn robots, it does not require boundary wires. There are a few ways that robotic lawnmowers can navigate, but Lymow’s approach combines satellite positioning with vSLAM technology. The latter is designed to take control when trees, roofs or walls block the satellite view and is one of the navigation methods used by robot vacuum cleaners. You can edit the robot maps to locate excellent cutting zones and no-go areas.
Another more common feature of robot vacuum cleaners is intelligent object avoidance; here powered by a combination of image-based semantic recognition and depth sensing. Basically, it is designed to identify obstacles and use that information to react appropriately. So if it spots a nearby obstacle, like a sprinkler or a hedgehog, it’ll give you a wide berth, but if it comes across a decaying apple or pineapple, you’ll be able to cover it with mulch (use the app). to configure what you want it to do with natural waste like this).
The mower has an effective cutting width of 16 inches/40.6 cm, making it an effective way to cover large spaces, as well as an adjustable cutting height range of 1.2 to 4 inches. The floating cutting deck follows the wheels to ensure that the grass stays put even when the ground isn’t.
Cutting-edge technology
Instead of traditional side scissor blades, Lymow One has two shredding blades; the kind you would find on a normal push lawn mower. These spin at 6000 RPM to handle any type of grass (wet, dry, dense), as well as spraying things like fallen fruit or small branches (if you’ve asked).
Those blades are combined with a powerful fan that ejects fine cuts evenly and at high speed (if you’re not familiar, this is basically how most robotic lawn mowers work, to avoid the problem of leaving you with piles of grass cuttings that empty). ).
“Most of today’s robotic lawnmowers are built for small yards, but many American homes have large, complex lawns. As a result, these mowers often serve as a supplement rather than a true replacement for traditional lawn mowers,” says the director. executive Wangshu Gao. “With Lymow One, we are taking a different approach. Our product is designed to completely replace traditional lawn mowers, providing superior automated lawn care.”
The Lymow One is scheduled to ship in April 2025 at a price of $2,999.
