Anthbot launches Genie 800 autonomous robot mower

Anthbot introduced the Genie 800, an autonomous robot lawn mower that operates without a perimeter wire. It uses RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) satellite navigation with centimetre accuracy and four onboard cameras to map gardens up to 800 m² (extendable to 1,500 m²) and recognise over 1,000 obstacle types. The mower handles slopes of up to 45 %, works in rain thanks to a rain sensor, and returns to its charging base automatically. It cuts with a 20 cm blade, operates at a maximum sound level of 58 dB, and can be programmed via a smartphone app to manage up to 20 zones and set schedules remotely. The device is sold through Euronics and includes Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth connectivity for updates.

A consumer guide for June 2026 highlights key factors when choosing a robot mower: measuring the garden accurately, preferring cable‑free models with LiDAR or AI‑based mapping, selecting robust units such as the Ecovacs Goat A1600 LiDAR Pro for steep or wet terrain, ensuring the mobile app is regularly updated and available in the buyer’s language, and accounting for ongoing maintenance costs like blade replacement.
