Innovative Satellite and AI Technology

Cobra has expanded its range of garden maintenance tools with the introduction of its most sophisticated robot lawn mowers to date. The new Mowbot 800X RTK and Mowbot 1500X RTK represent a significant shift toward wire-free operation, utilizing a combination of Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) satellite positioning and artificial intelligence to navigate garden environments.

These devices have been specifically engineered to overcome the difficulties often presented by the British climate and landscape. According to the manufacturer, the mowers are capable of operating effectively on uneven terrain, managing steep slopes, and maintaining performance even when grass is damp.


Smart Navigation and Efficiency

Moving away from traditional perimeter wire installations, these models leverage intelligent mapping to define virtual boundaries. This allows for more precise cutting patterns and efficient pathfinding. Through a dedicated mobile application, users gain the ability to customize specific mowing zones and manage complex lawn layouts with ease.

Key operational features include:

  • Obstacle Avoidance: Integrated AI sensors detect garden furniture, trees, and other potential hazards, adjusting the mowing route in real-time.
  • Versatile Traversal: The mowers are equipped with a blade-lift function, enabling them to safely cross gravel paths or paved areas to reach separate sections of the lawn without damaging the blades or the terrain.
  • Mulching System: Both units utilize an integrated mulching mechanism, which eliminates the need for a grass collection box.

Safety and Availability

Safety remains a priority for the new lineup. The Mowbots are outfitted with multiple protective measures, including collision detection sensors, lift-detection triggers, and an automatic blade-stop function that engages if the device is tampered with or lifted.

The models cater to varying garden sizes and are currently available through Cobra and select retailers across the UK. The Mowbot 800X RTK is priced at £769.99, while the more robust Mowbot 1500X RTK retails for £899.99.
