MAMMOTION throws shade on competition, combining LiDAR + RTK + Vision technology in one platform to provide centimeter precision for lawns, yards, and fields of any size and lighting conditions. 

BERLIN, Sept. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MAMMOTION, a pioneer in intelligent outdoor robotics, today announced a major leap forward in autonomous lawn care technology with the global debut of its Tri-Fusion Positioning System. The culmination of 9 years of development by MAMMOTION Atlas Lab, this breakthrough solution is the world’s first to seamlessly integrate LiDAR, RTK, and Vision into a single navigation platform—delivering unmatched ±1 cm precision, adaptability, and ease of setup across all lawn types and terrains and lightning conditions.

This breakthrough technology is now available in the newly launched LUBA mini AWD LiDAR, a next-generation robotic lawn mower powered by MAMMOTION’s proprietary Tri-Fusion technology. The Tri-Fusion–powered LUBA mini AWD LiDAR can be seen throughout IFA, alongside MAMMOTION’s latest innovations, including the new YUKA mini Vision at the MAMMOTION indoor (Hall 9, Stand 115) and outdoor (OCG-102) booths.  

Seeing Is Believing – Navigation with No Boundaries

Robotic mower positioning has evolved from boundary wires to wireless navigation powered by RTK, LiDAR, and AI-driven Vision. While each technology has unique strengths, most solutions using only one or two sensors still face limitations in complex environments. MAMMOTION’s Tri-Fusion Positioning System solves this by merging all three technologies into one intelligent system—offering far greater accuracy, adaptability, and reliability than any previous generation.

The development of the Tri-Fusion Positioning System was driven by real-world challenges in robotic lawn care. For lawns under 1,500㎡, LiDAR delivers high precision but can struggle in open areas lacking reference objects, while RTK may suffer from signal blockage due to trees or buildings. For larger spaces, LiDAR accuracy drops because of sparse reflection points, making RTK essential.

By seamlessly integrating LiDAR, RTK, and Vision into a unified platform, MAMMOTION has created a system that dynamically adapts to environmental conditions and maintains consistent centimeter-level accuracy (±1 cm). This marks a transformational leap in robotic navigation—from Generation 1.0 (physical boundary wires), to 2.0 (dual-sensor fusion), and now to 3.0 – Tri-Fusion intelligence.

In addition to precision, the system features intelligent dynamic switching: it autonomously assesses real-time environmental conditions and switches between LiDAR, RTK, or Vision as the primary positioning source. This ensures reliable navigation across diverse terrains—whether shaded, sloped, obstructed, or uneven. And with no need for perimeter wires or external base stations in supported regions, the setup is drastically simplified for end users.

“For the first time, our Tri-Fusion Positioning System combines all three technologies into one intelligent solution, dynamically adjusting based on real-time environmental conditions to ensure optimal stability and performance,” said Jayden Wei, CEO of MAMMOTION. “Whether you have a compact city garden or a sprawling countryside lawn, it delivers high-accuracy mowing in any environment, sunlit or shaded, open or obstructed, flat or hilly.”
