Navimow is a residential robotic mower that dispensed with the buried boundary wire, using a satellite reference antenna and corrected positioning to hold a virtual boundary drawn in a phone app. The user walks the perimeter once during setup, then edits zones and schedules from the app. Later models add cameras for obstacle recognition alongside the satellite fix, and the mower docks itself to recharge between cuts. Segway sells it for domestic lawns through consumer and garden machinery channels.

- Launched in Europe in 2021 as one of the first mainstream wire free robotic mowers.
- Uses a satellite reference station mounted on the house or a pole for centimetre level positioning.
- Built by Segway, better known for self balancing personal transporters and scooters.
