Robotic lawn mowers have evolved significantly, moving beyond the need for boundary wires and satellite-based RTK navigation. Eufy’s new E15 and E18 models take innovation further by using V-FSD (visual full self-driving) technology, relying on binocular cameras combined with AI algorithms—similar to the systems powering self-driving cars.
No Boundary Wires or Satellite Signals Needed
Unlike traditional robotic mowers that depend on boundary wires or satellite signals requiring clear sky views, Eufy’s V-FSD mowers navigate using visual mapping and object recognition. This makes them ideal for gardens with overhead obstacles that interfere with satellite signals.
A First for Eufy in Lawn Care
Known for robot vacuums, smart locks, and security cameras, Eufy is entering the robotic lawn mower market with its first models. Their strong reputation in home robotics raises expectations that their lawnbots might bring the same ease and reliability outdoors.
Effortless Setup and Intelligent Mapping
Setup is designed to be simple: connect the mower to Wi-Fi, place it on your lawn, and it will automatically map the area. The V-FSD 1.0 system accurately detects lawn edges, pathways, and obstacles, allowing users to set no-go zones and manage multiple lawn areas via the app.
Early tests show promising results, with reviewers praising the E15’s precise navigation, accurate auto-mapping, and consistent avoidance of objects as small as tennis balls.
Specifications and Availability
- Eufy E15: Available in the US and UK for lawns up to 0.2 acres (800 m²).
- Eufy E18: Currently US-only, designed for larger yards up to 0.3 acres (1,200 m²).
Both models cut in uniform lines and offer adjustable cutting heights from 1 to 3 inches (2.5 to 7.5 cm). A “Ride On Edge” feature lets the mower trim right along lawn perimeters, reducing manual edging work.
Security Features and Pricing
Each mower includes GPS and 4G anti-theft tracking, plus optional remote visual monitoring via camera. Pricing is set at $1,799.99 (E15) and $1,999.99 (E18) in the US. The E15 is priced at £1,499 in the UK and available directly through Eufy’s official stores.
Eufy’s AI-powered robotic mowers signal an exciting step forward in lawn care technology, offering wire-free, satellite-free navigation with smart features designed for convenience and efficiency.
