Mammotion announced a new robot mower navigation platform ahead of the IFA trade show in Berlin on Thursday: Its Tri-Fusion Positioning System combines LiDAR, Real-Time Kinematic (RTK), and vision capabilities into a single system.

Combining two of these technologies is not uncommon.

And while some robot mowers have all three technologies onboard, they aren’t necessarily connected for navigation, and serve other mower operation purposes.

Mammotion says Tri-Fusion is the culmination of nine years of development effort, and that it be made available as firmware updates for its recently released Luba Mini AWD LiDAR
