Autonomy Ladder

Why Level IV.

One five-rung scale, every category, from acting only on command to working unsupervised anywhere.

VGeneralized AutonomyAny task, any setting. No consumer robot has reached it.
To reach Level VWorks across task types and environments it was never configured for.
IVEnvironmental AutonomyThis robot

MOVA LiDAX Pro 800 sees ordinary obstacles before contact, copes without the space being cleared, and frees itself when stuck.

Navigation and control

UltraView 2.0: 360-degree 3D LiDAR with AI vision, RTK-free
Why this level
- MOVA documents UltraView 2.0 navigation, which maps the lawn with no wire and no base station, plans U-shaped coverage passes, and uses 360-degree LiDAR with AI vision to identify and route around obstacles day or night.
- No independent hands-on test has been published.

Robovations Score

Why the score is withheld

Not scored

The Robovations Score is withheld on this record. It is not a low score, and it is not an oversight.

Why

Our assessment did not establish an independent source for 6 of the nine inputs: task completion, coverage and navigation, edge-case recovery, operating envelope, field failure rate, software stability.

The full assessment note

That leaves nothing measured in its capability. A score missing a whole pillar would not describe the machine, so no number is published.

What would change it

An independent account of its task completion that we have verified.
An independent account of its coverage and navigation that we have verified.
An independent account of its edge-case recovery that we have verified.
An independent account of its operating envelope that we have verified.
An independent account of its field failure rate that we have verified.
An independent account of its software stability that we have verified.

Five-year costNot costed

$899 on MOVA's US store against a $1,099 launch price; the link module service is optional and its cost is not stated.

Data postureCloud-linked

Account required. Maps and telemetry leave the home; core function survives an outage.

What leaves the homeDocumented

A 360-degree 3D LiDAR and AI vision camera map the yard, and control runs through the MOVAhome app with optional TrueGard and link module services, per MOVA. MOVA publishes no model-specific statement of where camera or map data is processed.
