On March 12, 2026, at the China Household Appliances and Consumer Electronics Expo (AWE), Zhuimi Technology showcased a range of innovative products, with a particular focus on its smart lawn mower robot line. As a crucial component of modern garden scenarios, Zhuimi has demonstrated its latest advancements in the smart lawn mower industry through upgrades in core technologies such as LiDAR sensing and AI algorithms, further solidifying its technical superiority in this sector.
On the technical front, Zhuimi introduced the upgraded OmniSense™ 3.0 Super Sensing System. This system integrates 360° 3D LiDAR with dual 1080P HDR cameras, enabling it to identify and automatically avoid over 300 common obstacles. Additionally, by combining binocular vision with the LiDAR solution, the device can achieve AI autonomous mapping, allowing users to start using it without complex setups. Coupled with Zhuimi’s proprietary algorithms, the system also supports features such as active zoning, narrow passage recognition, real-time patch mowing, and intelligent direction changing, enhancing both mowing efficiency and lawn maintenance effectiveness.
In terms of products, the flagship model A3 AWD PRO has improved capabilities for adapting to complex environments and operational efficiency. This model employs a combination of binocular vision and AI algorithms for obstacle avoidance, achieving an impressive 98% accuracy in recognizing dynamic obstacles. Moreover, its all-wheel drive motor design provides up to 80% climbing ability and can overcome vertical obstacles of approximately 5.5 centimeters, ensuring stable operation in intricate garden environments. Additionally, its EdgeMaster™ 2.0 edge-cutting system, utilizing a dual-blade oscillation structure, allows for more precise edge trimming, reducing the need for manual touch-ups.
Beyond traditional mowing devices, Zhuimi also unveiled its first embodiment of a smart lawn mower robot, APEX. This product expands the mower’s capabilities with a robotic arm, transforming it into a multifunctional garden assistant capable of performing tasks such as leaf sweeping, garbage collection, tool organization, automatic watering, and fruit picking. According to the company, such embodied smart devices are expected to evolve into comprehensive service terminals for home gardens in the future.
From a market perspective, Zhuimi launched the world’s first smart lawn mowers equipped with LiDAR technology in 2024, pioneering a technical solution that relies solely on LiDAR for high-precision outdoor positioning, mapping, and obstacle avoidance. Thanks to this innovative approach, its related products received positive market feedback upon release and achieved the distinction of being recognized by Sullivan in 2025 as the “global leader in sales of LiDAR lawn mowers.”
As the demand for smart garden devices continues to grow among households, Zhuimi is actively expanding its outdoor smart ecosystem. Through ongoing upgrades in sensing technology and AI capabilities, the company aims to drive lawn mowers towards becoming more intelligent and efficient.
Editor’s Note: From LiDAR to embodied intelligence, Zhuimi is consistently pushing the technological boundaries of lawn mowers. With the rising demand for smart garden solutions, these devices are likely to evolve from single-purpose tools into multifunctional garden assistants, becoming a vital extension of the smart home ecosystem.
