What it can do

  • Can a robot mower work without a boundary wire?Yes

    The Luba 3 AWD mows inside virtual boundaries using satellite positioning plus LiDAR; a reviewer found it held its lines almost perfectly.

    Good to know: Got stuck at a ditch when positioning drifted a few inches. Review unit supplied by Mammotion. From $2,399.

    Review of the Luba 3 AWD (3000 model, $2,799 MSRP), scored 9.1/10. Its LiDAR, RTK and camera navigation is described as reliable under heavy tree canopy where RTK-only mowers lose signal. Downsides: price, occasional grass damage on sharp turns, app lag, weight.

    Several weeks with a Mammotion-supplied Luba 3 AWD, which uses network RTK plus LiDAR instead of a boundary wire. It held its mapped lines almost perfectly, but got stuck at a ditch when positioning was off by a few inches. Trimming and edging are still needed. From $2,399 in the US.
