| Segway’s Navimow X4 robot lawn mower |
Segway has just pulled the covers off its latest robotic landscaping powerhouse: the Navimow X4 series. Designed for homeowners with expansive and challenging terrain, this new line promises to take the hassle out of maintaining large lawns up to 1.5 acres. Following its US pre-order launch, the series is poised to hit the European market on March 31st, signaling a major step in automated lawn care for larger properties.
Gone are the days of simple, random-navigation robot mowers struggling on hills or leaving uncut circles. The Navimow X4 inherits the advanced Xero-Turn All Wheel Drive system from its recent sibling, the i2 AWD. This innovative technology allows the mower to pivot on the spot with zero-radius turns, eliminating lawn damage and ensuring every inch of grass is reached. It’s this same system that gives the X4 incredible hill-climbing chops, confidently tackling slopes up to a staggering 84% incline.
But power on a hill is nothing without control. Segway has integrated a Traction Control System (TCS), akin to what you’d find in a modern car. When sensors detect a loss of grip on wet grass or loose soil, the system instantly adjusts torque to individual wheels, preventing slippage and ensuring steady, consistent progress.
Cutting Power Meets Surgical Precision
Where the Navimow X4 truly sets itself apart is in its raw cutting capability. At its heart lies the MowMentum Cutting System, a dual-disc setup armed with twelve reinforced steel blades, powered by two 180W motors. Segway states this configuration delivers clean, even results whether dealing with overgrown grass, dense turf, or coarse weeds, effectively acting like a precision-guided lawn maintenance tool.
Of course, such power needs intelligent guidance. The X4 doesn’t rely on a simple boundary wire. Instead, it utilizes a sophisticated fusion of tri-frequency Network RTK, 360° VSLAM, and Visual Inertial Odometry (VIO). In simpler terms, it uses satellite correction for centimeter-level absolute positioning, while its cameras and sensors map and navigate your lawn’s unique layout in real-time. The result is a highly efficient, crisscross "parallel line" mowing pattern that can cover up to 0.5 acres in a single 8-hour session.

Built to withstand the elements, the mower boasts an IP66 weatherproof rating, meaning it can handle heavy rain and hose-downs without issue. Smart home integration is also covered, with support for Apple Find My for location tracking, and compatibility with Google Home and Amazon Alexa for voice commands.
