ANTHBOT Buying Guide

Mowing the lawn is a tedious and tiring task. The pollution from gas lawnmowers and the limited battery life of electric ones are also quite annoying. But ANTBOT's fully automatic intelligent robot mower can definitely free you from these troubles. It is quiet, environmentally friendly, time-saving, and labor-saving, and the scientific mowing method gives you the healthiest lawn. But are you worried about how to choose the most suitable robot mower for yourself? After all, this is a significant expense, so you must choose carefully. Don't worry! This article will help you make the best choice.

ANTHBOT's robot mowers currently come in 2 series: Pion (first generation) and Genie (second generation). We'll explain the differences between them in terms of technology, features, suitable lawn areas, and outstanding advantages.

Technical Development of Robot Mower

The working principle of a robotic lawn mower is similar to that of robotic vacuum cleaner. They need to map the range to prevent them from leaving the lawn or running to the street. The difference is that robotic lawnmowers work outdoors, so the influence of terrain and environment needs to be considered. Positioning and AI vision technology have become the core technologies. The most widely used positioning technologies for robot mowers are fence wire technology and satellite positioning technology.

Fence Wire Technology - Applied in Pion

Fence wire technology defines the working area of the robot mower by laying wires on the lawn and uses the magnetic field signals generated by the current for positioning and navigation.

Advantages: The electromagnetic wave signal is stable; the fence boundary is manually laid out, so the mowing area is visualized.

Disadvantages: Laying the wire takes time, and there's a possibility of wire breakage; it's only suitable for smaller lawns of around 500㎡.

Advantages of Pion Compared to Similar Products: It has a patented wire breakage detection technology. If a wire breaks, you can troubleshoot it in the app right away.

Satellite Positioning Technology - Applied in Genie

Satellite positioning technology locates the robot mower using GPS and combines RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) technology to achieve centimeter-level precise positioning.

Advantages: No wiring is required, and it's easy to set up; it can automatically create maps and position precisely.

Disadvantages: There are requirements for the installation position of RTK, and signal loss may occur.

Advantages of Genie Compared to Similar Products: It uses an exclusive full-band RTK technology, connects to more satellite channels, is almost unaffected by the environment, and has super stable signals.

AI Vision Technology - Applied in Genie, Not in Pion

It recognizes boundaries and obstacles through visual recognition and combines GPS for precise positioning and intelligent obstacle avoidance.

Advantages of Genie Compared to Similar Products: It is equipped with a 4-camera AI system that can perfectly identify lawn boundaries and create maps automatically; the AI model can recognize over 1,000 items, making obstacle avoidance more accurate.

What Should You Consider When Choosing a Robot Mower?

Lawn Area and Price

Before buying a robotic lawn mower, you first need to determine the size of your lawn and choose the most suitable model according to your budget. ANTHBOT has 4 models: Genie 600 ($999), Genie1000 ($1199), Genie 3000 ($1599), Pion1000 ($629). Genie is an AI smart series and is the best choice if you have enough budget.

Lawn Terrain

After initially determining the lawn area and suitable models, please adjust your choice according to your lawn terrain.

1. If your lawn is flat without hills or gullies, you can choose the model according to the actual area as usual.

2. If your lawn has hills and gullies and the area is complex, please buy a Genie model.

3. If there are many trees in your yard, the upper space is blocked, which affects the RTK-GPS work of Genie. You can contact customer service before purchase to help you make a judgment.

Lawn Status

ANTHBOT's robot mowers use a rotating blade design. The mowing height range is 30 - 70 mm (1.18 - 2.76 inches), which is suitable for home lawn maintenance and cannot be used for lawn reclamation.

Operation Difficulty and Features

Genie doesn't require wiring. It's very easy to install and use, with just 3 steps. The operation is very simple.

The main difference in function between the 3 models of Genie is that 1000 and 3000 have built-in 4G cards, which can remotely monitor the working status of Genie and have anti-theft functions.

How to Choose Accessories?

ANTHBOT robot mowers can be used without purchasing additional accessories. Accessories are mainly used to replace consumable parts or meet expanded scene needs.

Rain Cover

ANTBOT robot mowers are equipped with IPX6 waterproof hardware and can withstand rainy weather. But you can buy a rain cover according to your actual needs for more peace of mind.

Blade & Blade Disc

ANTBOT blades are made of thickened stainless steel, which is highly durable and needs to be replaced approximately every 3 - 6 months.

Buy blade discs according to your actual usage needs.

RTK Wall Mount Set / RTK Extension Cable

The standard package of Genie assumes that the RTK and charger station are installed in the same location. If there's no suitable installation position on your lawn or you want to install them separately, you can buy this accessory.

Extended Warranty Service

Genie offers a 2-year warranty, while Pion offers a 1-year warranty. If you want a longer warranty period, you can buy an extended warranty service.

Other Accessories

Please buy them as needed. If you have any questions, feel free to contact our customer service.
