# GPS-Powered Robotic Lawnmowers The Segway Navimow Doesn't Require Boundary Wires By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2021-09-08 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/segway-navimow References: [coolthings](https://www.coolthings.com/segway-navimow-robotic-lawnmower-robomower-virtual-boundary-lines/) & [navimow.segway](http://navimow.segway.com/) The [Segway Navimow](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-lawn-mowers1) robotic lawnmower is an intuitively engineered home maintenance technology solution for homeowners looking to take an easier approach to a common task. The robot works by being positioned into place and paired with the accompanying smartphone app to let operators set the boundaries without the need to place physical boundary wires. This is supported by GPS connectivity to keep the robot on track at all times. The Segway Navimow robotic lawnmower makes use of a gradual cutting functionality to only trim a small portion of the grass to keep it lush and allow for larger areas to be fully covered. The unit also maintains an IPX6 rating for waterproofness to allow for easy cleaning, while rain detection will send it back to the base. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 88% | Activity: 89% | Freshness: 10% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/robots) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Gps-enabled Robotic Lawnmowers:** Incorporating GPS technology into robotic lawnmowers to eliminate the need for physical boundary wires creates a disruptive opportunity for the home maintenance industry. - **Gradual Cutting Functionality for Robotic Lawnmowers:** The use of gradual cutting functionality in robotic lawnmowers allows for larger areas to be covered and creates a disruptive opportunity for the home maintenance industry. - **Waterproof Robotic Lawnmowers with Rain Detection:** Robotic lawnmowers with an IPX6 rating for waterproofness and rain detection create a disruptive opportunity for the home maintenance industry by allowing for easy cleaning and autonomous operation in wet conditions. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Home Maintenance Industry:** The Segway Navimow robotic lawnmower and its innovative features present a disruptive opportunity for the home maintenance industry. - **GPS Technology Industry:** Incorporating GPS technology into robotic lawnmowers presents a disruptive opportunity for the GPS technology industry. - **Outdoor Power Equipment Industry:** Developing robotic lawnmowers with gradual cutting functionality and waterproofness with rain detection presents a disruptive opportunity for the outdoor power equipment industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Rugged Robotic Lawn Mowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-lawn-mowers1.md) - [Robotic Lawn Care Technologies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-lawn-care.md) - [AI-Supported Robot Lawnmowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/navimow-i-series.md) - [Solar-Powered Robotic Lawnmowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunscout-pro-robot-lawnmower.md) - [GPS-Powered Robot Lawnmowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/husqvarna-automower-520-epos.md) - [App-Controlled Robotic Lawnmowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-lawnmower.md) - [Low-Noise Robotic Lawnmowers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/husqvarna-automower-415x.md) - [AI-Powered Lawnmower Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roboup-robot-lawn-mower.md) - [Advanced Intelligent Mowing Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intelligent-mowing-robot.md)
