The term refers to a robotic lawnmower produced by Segway that operates autonomously without requiring a physical boundary wire. These devices utilize advanced sensor technology and mapping capabilities to navigate and maintain lawns within defined parameters. The absence of a perimeter wire differentiates it from traditional robotic mowers and simplifies installation and adjustment of the mowing area.
Such robotic lawnmowers offer several advantages. The elimination of boundary cables reduces installation complexity and the potential for cable damage, leading to a more robust and reliable system. The ability to dynamically adjust mowing zones via software updates enhances flexibility. Historically, robotic lawnmowers required meticulous physical boundary setups, but this technology represents a significant advancement toward user-friendly autonomous lawn care.
