What to know

• Edge trimming—manually cleaning grass around borders and obstacles—has been a major limitation of robot mowers; four major manufacturers now offer automated solutions at IFA 2026.
• Dreame, Anker, Anthbot, and Mammotion all use swing-arm or extendable attachment systems combined with advanced navigation (LiDAR, RTK, AI vision) to handle edges without manual work.
• Models launch in spring 2027 with prices ranging from ~$1,900 to $4,000, representing a major step toward fully autonomous lawn care.
• The competitive push reflects a maturing market where functionality, not just basic mowing, now differentiates products.

“The Anthbot R7 is the first of several new robotic lawn mowers being presented at IFA with a special solution for edge trimming.”
