Anker, Mammotion Unveil Robot Mowers With Built-In Edgers for Up to 3.7 Acres

3 articles · Updated · The Verge · Sep 3

Summary

  • IFA 2026 brought two new robot mowers aimed at replacing separate weed whackers, with Anker’s Eufy S2 Max adding an extendable trimming arm and Mammotion’s Luba 4 AWD using an edge-cutting attachment.
  • Anker says the AWD S2 Max can map and mow up to 3.7 acres, handle 80% slopes, and navigate with camera-based vSLAM—avoiding boundary wires or an RTK base station.
  • Mammotion’s Luba 4 AWD combines four cameras, 360-degree LiDAR, and network RTK, plus front-wheel steering to turn without U-turns that can leave tracks.
  • Three Luba 4 AWD versions cover 0.75, 1.5, and 3 acres, but only the 3000F and 6000F support edge trimming; the larger 12000F drops that feature.
  • Anker plans a May 2027 launch at €3,999, while Mammotion will open preorders later this year, extending a wider industry push toward mower-integrated edging.
