LG has unveiled its latest innovation in smart home technology—a robotic lawn mower that responds to voice commands via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Users can simply say, “Alexa, cut my grass” or “OK, Google, mow the lawn,” and the autonomous device will get to work.
The company showcased the LG Lawn Mower Robot at the IFA consumer electronics trade show in Berlin, providing new details about its functionality. Originally announced at CES 2017, the updated model now features GPS tracking, allowing it to map and navigate yards efficiently while also serving as an anti-theft measure.
Key Features of LG’s Robot Mower
Voice Control: Works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for hands-free operation.
GPS Navigation: Ensures precise mowing patterns and helps locate the device if stolen.
Boundary Setup: Requires a perimeter wire to define mowing limits.
Fast Charging: Fully charges in 30 minutes.
Large Coverage: Cuts up to 5,500 square feet in just 2.5 hours.
While LG has not yet disclosed pricing, availability, or regional release plans, industry experts predict a premium cost, given that similar robotic mowers start around $1,000.
The device stands out from competitors like the Robomow RS612, thanks to its voice integration and GPS security—features that enhance convenience for homeowners who leave their mowers outdoors.
As smart home technology continues to evolve, LG’s robotic mower could redefine lawn maintenance, offering a seamless, automated solution for modern households.
