Anthbot M5 LiDAR

Which lawns the Anthbot M5 LiDAR suits

The Anthbot M5 LiDAR is rated for lawns of up to 500 m² (0.12 acre): a small to medium garden.

It finds its way with LiDAR, AI vision and RTK. LiDAR scans the garden with laser light to map it and spot obstacles, and keeps working under trees and beside buildings where satellite signals are weak. AI vision cameras recognise lawn edges, people, pets and objects in its path, so it can steer around them. RTK satellite positioning places the mower to within a few centimetres, so it mows in straight, even lines without a boundary wire; it needs a view of the open sky, and dense trees or tall buildings can weaken the signal. It needs no boundary wire: the lawn's edges are drawn in the app.

In the United States the Anthbot M5 LiDAR sells for $799, $160 for each 100 m² of lawn it is rated for, above the median of $104 across robot mowers sold in the US, at the premium end of the market.
