    What happened

    It maps a lawn with LiDAR instead of a satellite mast. Independent measurement of the 2 cm positioning claim and the edge trimmer's results is the open item.

    Bottom line

    The launch material describes design features and ratings; field results were not yet documented.

    Impact

    On autonomy

    • Navigation uses a rotating 360-degree LiDAR plus a 3D time-of-flight LiDAR, with no RTK mast or boundary wire.
    • The maker reports positioning accuracy of about 2 cm across the lawn, including in the dark.
    • An AI camera is reported to recognize more than 200 obstacle types.
    • The TruEdge Trimmer extends sideways to cut grass edges automatically.

    On readiness

    • Retail availability began February 12, 2026 through large European and online retailers.
    • Launch pricing was 999 euros in Germany and 949 pounds in the UK.
    • The maker states a working area of up to 1,200 square meters.
    • Setup is described as mapping the lawn in about a minute after the base is placed.
    Claim check

    3 maker claims checked against the record. Open one to read the finding.

    Navigation accurate to 2 cm, even in darkness
    Documented findingThe figure comes from the maker's launch material; launch coverage did not include independent measurements of positioning error.
    TruEdge Trimmer cuts edges automatically with no manual trimming
    Documented findingLaunch coverage describes the side trimmer as a design feature; edge results and noise with the trimmer running (reported at 81 dBA) were not independently assessed at launch.
    Recognizes more than 200 obstacle types
    Documented findingThe count is a maker claim; no independent test of the recognition list was available at launch.

    Technical notes

    3 sections

    Navigation

    The maker calls its system HoloScope 360. It pairs a rotating 360-degree LiDAR with a 3D time-of-flight solid-state LiDAR and an AI camera, and builds a map without cables or an external antenna. This replaces the satellite-mast approach used by the GOAT O1200 RTK, a separate record.

    Mowing Hardware

    The maker lists a 22 cm cutting width, a working area of up to 1,200 square meters, slopes up to 45 percent and passages as narrow as 80 cm. The TruEdge Trimmer is a side-mounted cutter that extends to the lawn edge. Launch coverage lists charging time at about 70 minutes, with noise of 61 dBA, rising to 81 dBA with the trimmer active.

    Availability

    The model was presented at a launch event in Barcelona on February 10, 2026. Retail sales began February 12, 2026. Prices were 999 euros in Germany and 949 pounds in the UK.
