IFA 2025 Highlight: MAMMOTION’s Tri-Fusion Positioning System takes its robot lawn mowers to the next level

Stephen Schenck / Android Authority Robot mowers may seem like a niche product, but the amount of time you save and the physical labor you avoid from not having to mow your own lawn can’t be stated enough. It started with low-powered devices that would get stuck on slopes and required physical boundaries that were difficult to install. But these robots have evolved exponentially since, with current generation robot mowers able to navigate using virtual boundaries and handle different types of terrain. No robot lawn mower was perfect, though, with navigation and terrain struggles remaining significant pain points. That’s exactly what MAMMOTION hopes to address with its latest Tri-Fusion Positioning System on the new LUBA mini AWD LiDAR, which the company is showcasing at IFA 2025. Here’s what you need to know. The Tri-Fusion Positioning System integrates LiDAR, RTK, and Vision technologies Stephen Schenck / Android Authority We’ve seen robot lawn mowers with various navigation systems and sensors, utilizing LiDAR, RTK (real-time kinematics), or AI-powered vision technology. Each has its unique strengths but also has limits, particularly in complex environments. LiDAR is fantastic for precision, but robot mowers with this tech can struggle in open areas without objects that the system can use as reflection points. RTK has the opposite impact of LiDAR. While it’s great for accurate navigation in large, open spaces, it suffers from signal blockages when it comes across objects, trees, or buildings. And while newer AI-powered camera technology works well for object identification, it struggles in the shade or on very uneven terrain. MAMMOTION overcomes these limitations by integrating all three technologies into a single, intelligent system, known as the Tri-Fusion Positioning System. By fusing all three, MAMMOTION combines the strengths of the three navigation and positioning systems, while eliminating their weaknesses. The robot lawn mower can now dynamically and easily adapt to various environmental conditions, while maintaining the lawn with a consistent ±1 cm precision. MAMMOTION combines the strengths of the three navigation and positioning systems, while eliminating their weaknesses. It’s not just about using all three systems in tandem, but also knowing which system works best in which environment. A robot mower equipped with the Tri-Fusion Positioning System will be able to automatically assess conditions in real-time and switch between LiDAR, RTK, or Vision modes as needed. Regardless of the terrain, whether shaded, sloped, obstructed, or uneven, the robot mower will be able to find the perfect system, or combination of systems, to navigate any terrain with ease. It’s been amazing to see how MAMMOTION technology has evolved from Generation 1.0, which was all about physical boundary wires, to 2.0, where they added dual-sensor fusion of RTK and Vision or LiDAR and Vision. And now, the brand is on the cusp of Generation 3.0 – Tri-Fusion intelligence. And since these don’t need perimeter wires or external base stations, setting up your robot lawn mower and getting started is simpler and quicker than ever before. MAMMOTION’s full lineup at IFA 2025: Robot lawn mowers and pool cleaner At the event, MAMMOTION is showcasing the LUBA mini AWD LiDAR robot lawn mower, the first to feature the Tri-Fusion Positioning System, as well as its other flagship products. You can visit MAMMOTION’s indoor booth (Hall 9, Stand 115) and outdoor booth (OCG-102) during the show to see and interact with these devices in person. LUBA mini AWD LiDAR Stephen Schenck / Android Authority With the new navigation system, the LUBA mini AWD LiDAR can easily handle complex environments, recognize and move around objects, identify trees, and use pathways. It also won’t struggle in the shade or on uneven terrain, with its all-wheel drive capability. The new LUBA mini can tackle inclines up to an 80% slope effortlessly, which is perfect for hilly estates, terraced gardens, and rugged riverbanks. With 88W cutting power, edge-to-edge coverage, and an adjustable cutting height between 20-65mm to suit your grass type and style, you are guaranteed a pristine lawn every time the mower is in action. LUBA 2 AWD Paul Jones / Android Authority The LUBA 2 AWD is MAMMOTION’s flagship product, and there’s plenty of reason why the all-wheel-drive robot lawn mower is recognized as one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2024. The LUBA 2 AWD is the ideal choice for large-scale lawn management projects thanks to its UltraSense AI Vision and RTK mapping capabilities, which allow it to automatically map areas of up to 2.5 acres and set up to 100 mowing zones. With 165W cutting power and a dual-disc cutting system, the LUBA 2 AWD can easily handle tall, thick, and wet grass, while comfortably navigating around uneven terrain and slopes up to 80%. If you’re looking for the best of the best, you should consider the LUBA 2 AWD. YUKA mini Vision Stephen Schenck / Android Authority The YUKA mini Vision is MAMMOTION’s first pure vision-powered robot lawn mower. It utilizes an AI-powered triple camera system to automatically map your lawn and navigate around objects and obstacles with ease. What is so appealing about the YUKA mini Vision is that it requires no installation, wires, sites, or maps – just drop it on your lawn and mow. With AI Vision capabilities helming the navigation to identify grass vs non-grass surfaces, you don’t have to worry about installing perimeter wires or base stations to manage the robot mower. The YUKA mini Vision is designed for small to medium lawns and provides edge-to-edge coverage for a pristine, even yard surface. Spino E1 robotic pool cleaner Paul Jones / Android Authority MAMMOTION also steps off your lawn and jumps into the pool with its first robot pool cleaner, the Spino E1. A powerful yet affordable cordless robotic pool cleaner, the E1 is packed with professional-grade features. It delivers 5,800 GPH suction power, a triple motor system, and SmartArc intelligent path planning for thorough cleaning of pool floors, walls, and waterlines. And once done, it will automatically park itself at the waterline for easy retrieval. The Spino E1 is now available at $599 (excl. tax). A 9th anniversary celebration brings huge discounts MAMMOTION is at the forefront of reshaping robotic lawn care to make it smarter, and more importantly, simpler and eco-friendly. From the LUBA AWD series being the first RTK-based and wire-free AWD robotic lawn mower to the YUKA mini Vision series breaking from base stations and using AI Vision systems, MAMMOTION has led from the front. And now, combining it all, is its new Tri-Fusion Positioning System, another huge step up to make your lawn maintenance a breeze. But along with the new comes massive discounts on MAMMOTION’s existing, and still impressively powerful, range of devices. To celebrate its 9th anniversary, Mammotion is offering discounts of up to $1,050 and other gifts when you buy the LUBA 2 AWD, YUKA mini Vision, and or the Spino E1 robotic pool cleaner.
