Cologne, Germany, June 22, 2026 – As a leading provider of robotics and 3D vision, Orbbec makes its debut today at spoga+gafa 2026 (Hall 4.2, Booth 4.2-A061), the leading global trade fair for garden lifestyle. Echoing the trade fair’s theme “Growing Forward,” Orbbec showcases four robotics vision solutions to meet the growing demands of the lawn care industry for smarter, more reliable, and rapidly deployable robotic lawnmowers.
Full-Stack Robotics Vision Portfolio Covering All Lawn Care Scenarios
As the lawn care industry transitions toward autonomous and intelligent operations, conventional mowing can no longer adequately meet market expectations. To navigate complex yard environments, robotic lawnmowers now require technological advancements in core capabilities, including robust mapping, precise obstacle avoidance, and adaptive positioning.
Leveraging its profound expertise in 3D vision and robotics manufacturing, Orbbec demonstrates four tailored robotics vision solutions for lawnmowers, encompassing Stereo VSLAM, LiDAR+Vision Fusion, Vision+RTK Fusion, and Monocular Vision, to meet the needs of various lawn care scenarios. Moreover, these solutions, which consist of hardware platforms, algorithm SDKs, engineering & integration services, and platform & application layers, cater to diverse business demands, spanning from upgrading existing lawnmowers with smart sensors to providing end-to-end system development for next-generation products.
- Industry-Leading Stereo VSLAM Solution:
Built on Orbbec’s self-developed, tightly-coupled stereo VSLAM localization algorithm, this solution operates entirely independently of GPS, RTK, LiDAR, or pre-buried boundary wires, and performs real-time, semi-dense 3D reconstruction of the operating environment and outputs 6-DoF global pose estimation with centimeter-level precision for full-coverage mowing, effectively solving the critical industry pain point of traditional lawnmowers failing to navigate reliably in shaded or obstructed areas.
By tightly fusing visual and wheel odometry, loop closure detection, and global bundle adjustment, this VSLAM framework seamlessly integrates with Orbbec’s mass-proven binocular RGB-D perception module for synchronous depth estimation and texture feature extraction. This enables accurate classification of grass, obstacles, rigid outdoor structures, and irregular lawn edges, and drives real-time dynamic path planning and centimeter-level obstacle avoidance under all outdoor conditions. Furthermore, it supports ride-on-edge mowing mode, ultra-edge mowing mode, and breakpoint resumption that ensures lawnmowers seamlessly pick up exactly where they left off after any interruption — making it a highly reliable, competitive vision perception and positioning solution for complex residential scenarios.
- High-Reliability LiDAR + Vision Fusion Solution:
Built on Orbbec’s upcoming 24-line/32-line LiDAR sensors, the system outputs high-precision 3D point clouds with a ±2cm ranging accuracy, providing stable 6-DoF global pose estimation and centimeter-level positioning without drift across all lighting conditions. At the algorithm level, the semi-sparse geometric point cloud is tightly fused with dense RGB semantic feature maps: LiDAR point clouds provide a robust 3D spatial structure and depth information that is immune to lighting interference, while dense RGB imagery supplements fine-grained semantic classification of turf, obstacles, hardscaping, and irregular lawn boundaries. This fusion eliminates the core industry pain points of pure LiDAR (lack of semantic perception) and pure vision (lighting sensitivity and positioning drift), delivering high obstacle detection accuracy and zero-drift long-distance navigation.
- High-Accuracy Stereo Vision + RTK Fusion Solution:
Designed to deliver commercial-grade reliability for mega-scale turf management, this solution integrates binocular RGB-D vision with RTK positioning to handle vast open properties with centimeter-level accuracy. While fully preserving the foundational stereo vision capabilities, the fusion of RTK and VSLAM enables instant, automatic environment mapping, significantly simplifying deployment and setup. This dual-technology alignment not only helps ensure ultra-precise and consistent coverage across intricate landscapes, but also secures robust asset protection by integrating geo-fencing, anti-theft alarm, and built-in 4G & cloud tracking.
- Cost-Effective Monocular RGB Vision Solution:
Ideal for standard small-to-medium lawns with fewer obstacles, this lightweight, monocular RGB vision solution delivers a streamlined approach to everyday garden maintenance. Built on Orbbec’s robust robotic vision framework, it offers comprehensive basic features, including wire-free boundary detection, animal detection, obstacle avoidance, multi-zone management, and automatic return-to-charge triggered by rain or low-light conditions — making it a highly cost-effective, “plug-and-mow” choice for typical gardens.
Four Vision Solutions Tailored for Robotic Lawnmowers
Multi-Site Manufacturing Strategy Enhancing Global Delivery Through CM & JDM
With both technological iteration and market competition driving the industry, global production capacity and faster time-to-market have become key factors for robotic lawnmower companies expanding overseas.
Orbbec is accelerating its global manufacturing footprint. With the recent groundbreaking of its RVMC factory in Vietnam and the upcoming operation of its initial overseas production capacity, Orbbec’s phased manufacturing framework — from near-term operational capacity to long-term production infrastructure — serves to better fulfill global lawnmower customers’ escalating demands.
In China, Orbbec’s intelligent manufacturing base in Shunde, Foshan, leverages the Greater Bay Area’s unique advantage of a complete supply chain system for robotics to provide flexible, reliable contract manufacturing (CM) and joint design manufacturing (JDM) services for robotics companies, having empowered over 5,000 enterprise customers worldwide. Concurrently, the RVMC factory in Vietnam, expected to be operational in 2027, will serve as Orbbec’s frontline for international delivery, seamlessly replicating its fully validated robotics manufacturing services from China for localized mass production.
Within its manufacturing ecosystem, Orbbec’s New Product Introduction (NPI) capability serves as a key driver for accelerating time-to-market. Built upon over a decade of industry experience, Orbbec’s NPI engineers possess specialized expertise in both vision and robotics manufacturing. From process optimization and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) to seamless production ramp-up, they help customers mitigate development risks and efficiently transition product concepts into scalable mass production.
Through its multi-site manufacturing strategy, Orbbec will facilitate agile and efficient allocation of global production capacity and establish an annual manufacturing capacity of over 6 million robot units, ensuring a more resilient supply chain for global customers.
