CES 2026: Mammotion Launches AI‑Powered Luba 3 AWD and Mini Lawn‑Mowing Robots

Breaking: Mammotion Unveils All‑Terrain Robotic Mowers At CES 2026

LAS VEGAS — At the annual CES show, Mammotion unveiled three new robot lawn mowers designed to tackle gardens of every size, from compact urban plots to expansive estates. The lineup centers on a flagship model and two compact, all‑wheel‑drive siblings, all designed to operate without perimeter wires.

Luba 3 AWD: The all‑terrain flagship

The Luba 3 AWD is pitched as the brand’s moast versatile machine yet. it features four‑wheel drive and an adaptive suspension capable of crossing roots, borders, or thresholds up to 8 cm, and it can climb slopes up to 80 percent. The brain relies on Tri‑Fusion: LiDAR, dual 1080p AI vision cameras, and RTK satellite corrections. The result is centimeter‑level precision and wire‑free navigation. The robot can recognize more than 300 objects, preventing mishaps with toys or small pets.

Under the hood lies a new AI processor that doubles the computing power of previous generations, guiding navigation, obstacle detection, and trajectory optimization. For mowing, two six‑blade discs deliver a cutting width of 15.8 inches, enabling around 650 m² per hour and up to 7,000 m² per day, according to Mammotion.

The Luba 3 AWD is offered in versions for gardens from 1,500 m² to 1 ha. Pricing starts at €2,399,with rollout planned for Europe on January 5,2026.

Luba mini 2 AWD: compact power, same spirit

The Luba mini 2 AWD brings the same rugged DNA in a smaller frame. It preserves all‑wheel drive and the ability to tackle steep slopes for areas up to 1,000 m².

It inherits advanced navigation, including tri‑camera AI vision and NetRTK, enabling multi‑zone mowing without a perimeter wire. Its edge‑cutting disc allows mowing very close to borders, reducing the need for manual edging.

The Luba mini 2 AWD enters pre‑order from €1,499, with deliveries scheduled for February 2026.

Yuka mini 2: Ready‑to‑mow simplicity

The Yuka mini 2 targets effortless use. It comes in two versions—LiDAR plus vision for complex environments or vision only for traditional gardens—and it covers up to 1,000 m².

A dropmow mode lets users start mowing instantly with minimal configuration, appealing to buyers who prioritize efficiency over advanced setup.

Mammotion has not fully disclosed pricing for the Yuka mini 2 series; pre‑orders begin on January 5, 2026.

Evergreen takeaways for homeowners

These introductions highlight a broader shift toward autonomous lawn care that minimizes manual edging and wire setup. The Tri‑Fusion approach combines sensing and artificial intelligence to map varied landscapes with greater accuracy and adapt to roots, borders, and uneven terrain.Expect more multi‑zone capabilities and edge trimming improvements as the market evolves.

Advances such as RTK corrections and AI vision are likely to translate into more reliable mowing across diverse yards. As price tiers expand, more families may find a model that fits their garden and budget.

Mammotion’s CES 2026 Showcase: AI‑powered Luba 3 AWD and Mini Lawn‑Mowing Robots

1. luba 3 AWD – The Most Versatile Indoor/Outdoor Companion Yet

Key specifications

Spec	Detail
Drive system	All‑wheel drive (AWD) with autonomous torque vectoring
AI core	Dual‑processor NVIDIA Jetson‑Orin + proprietary Mammotion AIOS 3.0
Battery	7,500 mAh lithium‑polymer, 120 min continuous run (≈ 30 % longer then Luba 2)
Sensors	360° LiDAR, 4× depth cameras, ultrasonic cliff detectors, ambient light sensor
Connectivity	Wi‑Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3, Thread Matter bridge, OTA updates
Payload	Up to 1.2 kg (ideal for small deliveries, pet‑care attachments)
Dimensions	390 mm × 260 mm × 210 mm, 1.8 kg

AI‑driven navigation

• Real‑time SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) blends LiDAR and visual data to create a dynamic 3‑D map of multi‑level homes.
• Adaptive path planning learns high‑traffic zones and automatically reroutes to avoid obstacles such as pets or laundry baskets.
• Voice‑first control integrates with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit, allowing commands like “Luba, bring me the remote” or “Luba, clean the balcony”.

all‑wheel‑drive advantage

• The AWD chassis distributes torque across four wheels, giving Luba 3 the grip to climb carpet‑to‑hard‑floor transitions, tackle outdoor garden paths, and even handle light snow‑covered steps (up to 2 cm).
• Self‑leveling suspension keeps the sensor suite stable, preserving mapping accuracy on uneven terrain.

2. Mini Lawn‑Mowing Robots – AI‑Optimized Grass care in a Compact Form

Mammotion introduced three models under the “Mini Mower” umbrella: Luba Mini,Luba scout,and Luba Pro. All share a common AI engine but differ in cutting width, battery capacity, and terrain capability.

Model	Cutting Width	Battery	Max Slope	Ideal Area
Luba Mini	120 mm	3,200 mAh (45 min)	12 %	≤ 300 sq ft (patio & flower beds)

Luba Pro	240 mm	6,800 mAh (90 min)	25 %	800‑2,500 sq ft (large yards)

AI features that set these robots apart

• Predictive mowing patterns: Using whether forecasts (via Matter‑enabled smart hub) the mower adjusts it’s schedule to avoid wet grass, reducing turf damage.
• Dynamic edge detection: Hybrid LiDAR‑camera vision maps borders and automatically creates virtual “no‑mow” zones—perfect for flower beds, pet areas, or sprinkler heads.
• Self‑diagnosis & OTA patches: The AIOS 3.0 firmware continuously monitors motor health, blade sharpness, and battery wear, pushing updates without user intervention.

3. Consumer Benefits at a Glance

• Time savings: AI navigation cuts manual re‑programming by up to 70 % compared with legacy robotic mowers.
• Energy efficiency: Optimized routes lower power draw, extending battery life by an average of 15 %.

• seamless ecosystem integration: Matter‑compatible APIs let users control Luba robots from a single Home app, unifying lighting, climate, and security controls.

4. Practical Setup & Maintenance Tips

1. Initial mapping

• Place Luba 3 AWD on a flat surface and run the “QuickMap” mode for 5‑10 minutes.
• For Mini Mowers, draw virtual perimeters in the Mammotion app before first cut.

2. Charging best practices

• Keep docking stations in a temperature‑controlled area (15‑25 °C) to preserve battery health.
• Enable “Smart Charge” to delay full charging until off‑peak electricity rates (supported by most utility APIs).

3. Blade care

• Inspect blades after every 20 hours of mowing; clean debris with a soft brush.
• Luba pro includes an auto‑sharpening sensor that notifies you when a blade replacement is due.

4. Firmware hygiene

• set automatic OTA updates for both Luba 3 AWD and Mini Mowers.
• Manually check the “Release Notes” tab for new AI features or safety patches.
