What is Navigation?
In short
Navigation is how a robot mower works out where it is, and the brands in this group split between satellite positioning, cameras and a wire in the ground.
Navigation is how a robot mower works out where it is and where to cut, whether from satellites, from a signal in the ground or from cameras. It decides how much setup the machine needs and how well it handles obstacles and awkward edges. In this group, Dreame lists lidar and vision for its flagship mower, Flymo lists boundary wire and B&Q lists rtk gps. Compare the method before you buy, since a mower that relies on a wire needs one laid before it can work.
