01 Classification

What each one does on its own.

The Autonomy Ladder is the same five rungs for every robot on the site. A rung describes the conditions a robot handles without you, not how good it is.

V
Generalized
Any task, any setting
IV
Environmental
Handles new obstacles without help
III
Conditional
Finishes familiar jobs on its own

02 Assessment

Where they actually differ.

The Robovations Score is nine inputs across three pillars, each weighted as shown and each scored so that more is better. A robot can lead on one and trail on another, which is the point of showing them apart. Cost of ownership and data handling are reported on each robot's own page and are never averaged into the score.

03 Measured against the class

How far apart is a long way?

A number only means something next to the spread it sits in. Each track below is the real range across every classified robot in the class, with the median marked.

Not compared, because fewer than two of these robots carry a published figure: Suction, Runtime, Charge time, Noise, Weight, Height.

04 Ownership

What the numbers leave out.

The trade-off

What each design gives up to be good at what it is good at.

Greenworks AiMowbot C20Z

RTK accuracy removes perimeter-wire labor but concentrates installation friction: base-station mounting and sky-view siting are critical setup steps, not optional.

4WD and vision replace gas-engine maintenance, but blade replacements and RTK station cleaning remain seasonal obligations, just at lighter intensity than the Optimow’s wire-and-blade churn.

Mammotion Yuka Mini

Two batteries under one name. The 600 carries a 2.4 Ah pack and mows up to 55 minutes; the 800 carries a 6.1 Ah pack and mows up to 150. Both dock, recharge and resume unattended, so the smaller pack lengthens the session rather than adding an intervention.

Who each one is wrong for

Stated by the record itself. A robot being wrong for a household is a fact about fit, not a fault.

Greenworks AiMowbot C20Z
Terrain above the rated gradient, or ground that will not hold traction.
Greenworks rates the C20Z to 24 degrees (45 percent grade) on four-wheel drive. Ground steeper than that sits outside the rating. Thick undergrowth or standing water causes traction and navigation faults independent of slope.
Owners requiring buried perimeter-wire setup.
RTK paired with vision is the only boundary method; there is no wire alternative and no way to skip the app-based setup. Remote scheduling and monitoring need an internet or 4G connection, though mowing itself does not stop when that connection does.
Properties larger than 0.5 acres or requiring multi-zone scheduling.
Single-charge cycle covers roughly 0.4-0.5 acres depending on grass height. Larger lawns need docile pause-and-recharge cycle breaks. No multi-zone or perimeter-subdivision feature documented.
Mammotion Yuka Mini
Yards beyond the model's rated area
The 600 is rated for 600 m2, about 6,460 sq ft, and the 800 for 800 m2, about 8,610 sq ft. Past the rating the constraint is total coverage rather than session length, and a larger platform answers it better than more sessions.
Yards under heavy tree canopy
Positioning comes from NetRTK satellite correction, so sky view is what matters. Dense canopy or a walled courtyard that blocks the sky can degrade positioning; ambient brightness and time of day do not.
Owners who need a verified pass-to-pass accuracy figure
Mammotion states centimeter-level positioning through free NetRTK. Robovations has not verified pass alignment on this platform, and Mammotion publishes no pass-to-pass tolerance. Owners whose expectations rest on a measured figure have none to work from.

What stays your job

The upkeep ownership hands back to you, whatever the autonomy level says.

Greenworks AiMowbot C20Z
  • Seasonally: Blade replacement (~$20-25 per pair; 2-3 times during mowing season depending on grass density).
  • Seasonally: RTK base-station and dock sensor cleaning to remove pollen and debris.
  • Annually: Charging contacts inspection and dock frame check for corrosion or misalignment.
  • As needed: Clearing grass clogs from deck and blade housing after heavy mulching or wet-grass cycles.
  • As needed: Firmware updates via Greenworks app; automatic download, manual install recommended.
Mammotion Yuka Mini
  • Weekly: Camera lens and sensor cleaning to keep obstacle and edge detection accurate in pollen-heavy regions.
  • Blade changes: Inspect the pivoting blades whenever you clean the deck and replace them once edges are dull or chipped. They are flip-and-replace consumables sold in multi-packs, and Mammotion ships six spares with the mower. Replace rather than sharpen: grinding thins the steel and unbalances the disc on a machine that runs unattended.
  • Dock contact cleaning: Weekly inspection and cleaning to maintain consistent charging connection.
  • Monthly: Undercarriage inspection for grass clipping buildup; blow out with compressed air.
  • Seasonally: Indoor storage in freezing climates, with the pack left charged rather than run down. Battery health check before spring operation; sensor calibration before first mow if the mower was dormant over winter.
05 Evidence

How much each of these is standing on.

Classifications rest on different depths of evidence. A pre-release assessment and a verified one are not the same kind of claim.
