I can vouch that lawnmowers and mulching machines I’ve used in my garden consume a significant amount of fuel and take a toll on the back. Perhaps this is why robotic mowers, which are user-friendly and require less manual intervention, have become a common sight. Everything new and innovative once is bound to become a cliché in the coming years.
This was the case with robotic vacuum cleaners and is now true for robotic lawnmowers. Once rare, these automated grass cutters are now widely available online. So, when ANTHBOT launched its Kickstarter campaign, it not only had the challenge of presenting a durable and functional robotic lawn mower but also ensured that its ‘Genie robotic lawn mower’ outdid the competitors in the market.
In terms of design, the Genie robotic lawn mower isn’t as innovative as the Lymow One but stands out for its extra-large rear wheels that are studded for enhanced traction. Functionality-wise, the robot boasts precise mowing, thanks to a brushless motor that spins at 3,000 RPM, allowing the blade disc lifts to navigate branches and rough terrain.
Genie robotic lawn mower’s standout feature is ‘Advanced Obstacle Detection’. Equipped with four cameras and smart algorithms, the Genie can identify and avoid obstacles like people, animals, and outdoor furniture, preventing it from tripping or tumbling into pits.
A common problem with robotic lawnmowers has always been a tedious assembly process. But that is not to be the case with ANTHBOT’s Genie. Setting up the robotic lawn mower is extremely easy, especially using the app, which makes the setup procedure smooth. Just like other lawnmowers, you need to charge the robot first before it’s ready to go.
The company further touts that ANTHBOT Genie can actively identify boundaries and avoid obstacles, eliminating the need for installing boundary wires. This is possible courtesy of integrated RTK (Real-time kinematic) and QuadVision Positioning Navigation Technology that provide the lawn mower with centimetre-level positional accuracy and the capability to navigate any terrain effectively.
Another problem I’ve endured with lawnmowers is mapping no-go areas, which is quite a hassle when you have to do it on the application. Genie robotic lawn mower however comes equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) technical mapping. This technology is quite handy in mapping the space and ensures that the robot can automatically detect the boundaries of the lawn and complete the mapping process independently.
Unlike traditional mowers that require manual intervention, Genie robotic lawn mower can be managed remotely. If required, you can also dedicate the mowing zones, and no-go areas, via the user-friendly app for ultimate convenience. The lawn mower is available in three variants Genie 1000, Genie 3000, and Genie 5000, and can be pre-booked for a Super Early Bird price of $629, $729, and $829 respectively.
