| The Litheli Skope 800 AI-Vision robotic lawn mower does not require owners to set up boundary wires prior to autonomous lawn mowing. |
In a move set to redefine automated lawn care, power tool innovator Litheli has officially unveiled the Skope 800 AI-Vision Robotic Lawn Mower. This isn't just another timer-based bot that bumps randomly around your yard. Powered by advanced artificial intelligence and binocular smart vision cameras, the Skope 800 promises a truly wire-free, intelligent mowing experience that sees and understands your lawn.
Gone are the days of painstakingly burying perimeter wires to keep your robotic helper in check. According to Litheli, the Skope 800 utilizes its NEO-FSD Intelligent Navigation system to autonomously map a lawn, learning its specific terrain and boundaries. This AI-driven approach allows it to operate with surgical precision, avoiding wasteful repeated passes and ensuring every blade is cut evenly. "The system has been trained to recognize different terrains and lawn structures," the company stated, "allowing it to automatically recognize and stay within lawn boundaries."

Smart Enough to Avoid Your Dog, Quiet Enough to Go Unnoticed
Beyond navigation, the AI vision system serves a critical safety function. Litheli claims the mower can recognize over 200 obstacles—from children and pets to garden gnomes and toys—using its AI visual obstacle avoidance technology. This camera-based system is a significant step beyond simple ultrasonic or bump sensors, aiming to prevent accidents before they can happen.
Quiet operation is another highlighted feature. The electric motor is reported to generate less than 60 dB(A) during operation—quieter than a typical conversation—making it a good neighbor for early morning or evening mows. Despite its quiet demeanor, it’s robust enough to handle slopes up to 22° (42%).
Built for Convenience and the Ecosystem
The Skope 800 is designed for lawns ranging from 1/5 to 1/4 of an acre (800-1,000 m²). Its runtime is fueled by a 5.0 Ah Infinity Power Share (IPS) lithium-ion battery. For those already invested in the Litheli ecosystem, this is a major perk: the battery is fully compatible with the company's other outdoor power tools, offering versatility and value.
Practical features for real-world use include:
- IPX6 Water Resistance & Rain Sensing: It can handle wet conditions and will automatically delay mowing during rain, scheduling around bad weather to protect your lawn.
- Resume Function: If mowing is interrupted (e.g., for a battery charge), it returns to its last point to finish the job completely.
- Anti-Theft System: Provides peace of mind for unattended operation.
- Amazon Availability: The tool ecosystem, including this mower, is sold through the Litheli store on Amazon, streamlining the purchase process for many.
While the technological leap is clear, Litheli has not yet announced official market availability or pricing for the Skope 800 AI-Vision robotic mower. This launch positions the company directly against established players in the robotic mower market, betting that AI and wire-free convenience will be the key differentiators for homeowners seeking a truly smart lawn care solution.
