SEGWAY NAVIMOW ROBOTIC MOWERS
SIX good reasons to buy a Segway Navimow Robotic Mower:
1. You will never have to worry about mowing your lawn ever again!
This is a big deal of course, but even more importantly:
2. It will do a much better job than you ever could with a conventional mower or ride-on.
3. It is incredibly, almost unbelievably quiet and unobtrusive in operation.
4. It will automatically continue to maintain your lawn in the best possible state it can be.
5. You don't have to dig up your lawn to install any boundary wires.
6. You can control and schedule it from anywhere with your smartphone.
Easy option:
If you just want the whole thing to work, and not bother with anything, we can set everything up for you, so it automatically mows on a suitable schedule, without you having to get too involved.
In any case, call us to arrange a demo at your location, and you can see how it all might work for you.
A quick introduction to the Segway Navimow Robotic Mowers:
Satellites:
These machines geo-locate themselves via satellite. The (included) stationary base antenna and the mower need to both receive signals from the same satellites.
On-board software algorithms in the mower use this data to continuously calculate its real-time position to within 1 to 2cm.
The (included) charging station also needs to be in a fixed position where the mower when docked can receive a good satellite signal. It also transmits a radio signal to the mower to help guide it back for docking.
Camera:
The mower also has a camera, the data from which is interpreted via AI in real time. This not only helps it navigate, (for example it can recognise a garden border and similar perimeter or internal-to-the-map objects like trees or permanent garden furniture etc) but also to recognise and avoid moving or unexpected temporary objects. These might be fallen tree branches, temporary flooding, people or animals, or toys, etc left on the lawn.
(The images from the camera are not retrievable or able to be understood outside of the mower algorithms).
Map:
Since the mower can thus calculate where it is, then by using a custom map which it stores internally, it can determine the layout of your lawn, and where to mow.
The map is created in real time via the (free) Bluetooth connected Navimow smartphone app.
Using the app, the mower is manually driven out of its charging station, to a place on the perimeter of the lawn where you want the map to start. It is then driven around the perimeter of the lawn either automatically if the lawn has clearly defined perimeters, and / or manually until the start position is again reached, thus enclosing the lawn.
Mowing:
Once the map is made, the lawn is ready for mowing.
The mowing can be started by pressing the ‘mow’ button on the mower, or remotely via the app, or according to a schedule you create in the app.
While the machine is mowing, you can follow on the smartphone real time progress of the job, and view various related statistics.
When the job is done, the mower will notify you via the app, return to its base, recharge its battery and await further instructions.
There are options for adding further lawns to the map, (provided the overall size of the total map will be within the mower's specified area capacity), creating corridors between them for the mower to automatically travel along, editing the maps and so on.
Updates:
The mower is able to receive software updates via WiFi or 4G. This is a big deal, since new features can be added, and the operation of the machine tweaked to continually improve its capabilities. An example is the recent update to allow "isolated zones", mentioned above.
Straight Lines:
Many other mowers using boundary wires mow in a random pattern, but the Segway Navimow, guided by satellite, mows in perfectly parallel straight lines. By default it mows in a different direction each time out; still parallel lines, but in a differing alignment. You can adjust this alignment, limit the number of variations, and even set it to just one, which you can align to your lawn direction or some other feature if you wish.
Slopes:
Specs are: i-series 30% | H-series 45%
These are significant slopes. For instance Baldwin Street in Dunedin (the steepest street in the world) is 34%
The results you will achieve here depend on your actual lawn terrain, the moisture content etc.
Both series machines have accessory wheels or bolt-on traction discs to help if needed.
Note that at the boundary, the maximum incline can only be 10% for both models. This means for example you can't create a map beginning on a slope; rather the boundary spot where the map begins must be no more than a 10% (5.7°, 1:10) incline.
Rain:
The mower can sense rain and skip mowing until the rain has stopped, returning to its charging station. When it has been dry for a user specified time, the mower will automatically return to where it stopped, and complete the job. If its been scheduled to go out and it is raining, it will wait until the rain stops. You can even define what kind of rain it should pay attention to.
(The mower is ip66 rated, the charging station ip56, so neither will be affected by wet weather)
Night:
If you want, the machine can mow at night; It has an automatic LED headlight so the camera is able to function and operate correctly.
Alarm:
Since the mower knows where it is in the world, it knows when it isn't at home, and will sound a loud alarm if taken away. The alarm can only be stopped if the pin code is entered; It will also report its current location back to the app, so it can be traced similar to a lost phone.
(Note: i-series machines require an optional 4G module installed, H-series come with these as standard.)
Anywhere in the world:
Note that not only do you not have to be at home when the lawns are being mowed, you can be anywhere in the world where your phone has reception, and so begin or stop mowing, or view the overall real time progress of the job.
If there is a problem, for example if the mower gets stuck, it will notify you, plus you can see where it is on the map the problem is. You can then call staff to deal with the incident!
(If you were going away for some time, you can share your map and installation with a another smartphone before you leave, so a local person can trouble shoot on site.)
Models:
The number after their designation is simply the area they can be programmed to mow in square meters, and therefore also the size of the battery each machine has. All machines are controlled by the same phone app.
i-series:
The i-series machines are more suited to a suburban or domestic layout of lawn(s) up to 800m²
They have a manual adjustment for the blade height, and 4G access is an optional extra.
H-series:
Segway Navimow H800A-VF: $3,999
Segway Navimow H1500A-VF: $4,699
Segway Navimow H3000A-VF: $5,399
The H-series is generally built to cut a bigger lawn, although they do cross-over.
The H-series has built-in 4G access, programmable cutting height adjustment, and can handle a steeper slope.
Battery & Charging:
People often ask how long it takes to charge, and how much lawn it can mow per charge.
The machines are fitted with a battery that under normal conditions is easily capable of mowing the specified area of lawn within one full charge. So that is up to 500m², 800m², 1,500m² and 3000m². You choose a mower that will be capable of mowing the area of lawn you need.
1. You will never have to worry about mowing your lawn ever again!
This is a big deal of course, but even more importantly:
2. It will do a much better job than you ever could with a conventional mower or ride-on.
3. It is incredibly, almost unbelievably quiet and unobtrusive in operation.

5. You don't have to dig up your lawn to install any boundary wires.
6. You can control and schedule it from anywhere with your smartphone.

We can see by comparing the location of this property via google maps on the left, that the app shows an accurate geo-located map of the area to be mowed, and any boundary islands you have created.
We can see the mower progress, (42%), where it actually is (in this case its docked in its charging station) and its actual current battery charge (89%).
This install also shows a "pick-up" area, (an isolated zone) indicating the mower can be picked up and moved over an obstacle, like a low wall, fence etc, but still stay within the same original mowing zone.
The app also lets you know when the job is finished, and / or if the mower has gone back home for recharging (as above).

i-800 about 2.0 hours
H-800 about 3.0 hours
H-1500 about 4.0 hours
H-3000 about 5.0 hours
The time a battery will take to re-charge is dependent upon its capacity. In 'real life' it hardly matters since a mower is not an appliance that is being continuously operated. Every battery capacity is able to be easily fully charged over night, so you shouldn't worry about it.
