Segway Navimow has finally created a compact robotic lawnmower that will treat your lawn with the meticulous care it deserves

Typically, it’s the big lawn robots for palatial yards that get all the best features, and the cheaper compact bots can feel like a bit of an afterthought. But Segway Navimow has brought out a new compact robotic lawnmower that it says will treat smaller yards with the careful attention they deserve.

Of all the lawn bots I’ve seen at CES 2026, the Segway Navimow i2 AWD really stands out. It’s not the flashiest design—in fact, it’s the most affordable of the brand’s 2026 launches—but it has some nifty features that make it possible to create a perfectly manicured striped lawn without ever risking damage to your lawn.

This robotic lawnmower has four-wheel drive – hence AWD – which is very unusual for a compact robotic lawnmower. It only has two main wheels (as is common with compact lawn bots), so it won’t scale particularly rocky terrain.

But what this means is that the wheels don’t drag on your grass when the bot turns. This is especially relevant for the tight pivots you need to create stripes.

To complement the individually driven main wheels, the smaller stability wheel at the front of the lawn has also received some design tweaks. It’s also powered (again unusually) and can turn 180 degrees to guide the robot around hairpin turns with confidence and precision – and without ever tearing into your grass. The brand calls all this ‘Xero-turn’ technology.
