- Mammotion has unveiled a brand new flagship LUBA 3 AWD sequence
- Affords ±1 cm positioning precision through an upgraded LiDAR, RTK and Imaginative and prescient navigation system
- Additionally makes selections virtually immediately with a ten TOPS AI chip
I am at CES 2026, the place Mammotion has unveiled its 2026 vary of autonomous robotic garden mowers. The LUBA 3 AWD sequence sits on the head of the lineup, and it is one of the vital succesful lawnbots in the marketplace.
We’re masking the entire newest CES information from the present because it occurs. Persist with us for the large tales on the whole lot from 8K TVs and foldable shows to new telephones, laptops, sensible residence devices, and the most recent in AI.
You can too ask us a query concerning the present in our CES 2026 dwell Q&A and we’ll do our greatest to reply it. And don’t overlook to observe us on TikTok for the most recent from the CES present flooring!
The upgrades on the LUBA 3 appear to be iterations on the already-excellent tech powering the likes of the LUBA 2. For example, the Tri-Fusion Navigation System has been enhanced and now affords ±1 cm positioning precision. There’s the all-wheel drive (the AWD of the title) for traversing the trickiest of terrain – together with an ultra-steep slope within the CES corridor (scroll down to look at).
Tri-Fusion system combines three totally different applied sciences – LiDAR (the first navigation system), RTK (for improved place accuracy) and AI Imaginative and prescient (for object recognition and avoidance) – to make sure the robotic at all times has a technique to search out its method about.
All three applied sciences have had an improve within the LUBA 3. There’s now 360-degree horizontal LiDAR protection and 59-degree vertical protection, scanning as much as 330ft. This gives the bot with hundreds of thousands of information factors, which it might probably use to create a dwell 3D map of your yard, from the grass to the tops of the timber.
Earlier variations have include an RTK base that must be put in individually from the mower and cost station, however the LUBA 3 AWK has a NetRTK module throughout the lawnbot itself, to avoid wasting you from the additional trouble. (And naturally, there is no want for wires.)
Lastly, there’s ‘UltraSense’ AI Imaginative and prescient, powered by twin 1080P cameras and a ten TOPS AI chip. That chip can deal with 10 trillion operations per second, which suggests it might probably make selections extremely shortly.
All that is to assist the robotic react virtually immediately to its environment – together with studying the terrain and recognizing as much as 300 obstacles, even in dim mild. This not solely ensures no yard toys get mown over, but it surely additionally means the lawnbot can calculate the speediest, most secure routes in actual time. Oh and or course, there are cliff sensors to make sure it would not attempt to take a dip in your pool or pond.
Scaling the heights
The AWD is borrowed from earlier fashions, and ensures the lawnbot can deal with slopes of as much as 80% (38.6°) – I watched it make its method up and down a mini astroturf mountain within the demo corridor and it by no means slipped or faltered.
It might probably additionally take care of uneven floor, and since all of the wheels are independently powered, it might probably pivot cleanly with out churning up your garden. This mannequin additionally has upgraded suspension, so it might probably transfer easily over kerbs or roots as much as 3.15 inches tall.
Elsewhere, there’s an 15.8-inch extensive chopping width throughout two six-blade discs, two 165W high-torque motors and a 15Ah battery. Mammotion says it might probably mow as much as 7,000 sq ft per hour or as much as 1.75 acres per day, and there is a new sensible energy administration system that offers customers extra management over the lawnbot’s energy use – now you can set cost limits and schedule off-peak charging to cut back prices. That is obtainable throughout the entire of the most recent sequence.
There are 4 totally different fashions included within the LUBA 3 AWD sequence, geared in the direction of totally different garden sizes, with costs beginning at €2,299 / $2,299. They’ve simply gone on sale within the UK and EU, and might be obtainable within the US someday later in 2026.
