Mammotion has unveiled its new iNavi service, which enables the company’s robotic mowers to navigate with centimeter accuracy without the RTK antenna previously required. This innovation could significantly simplify the installation and use of the devices.
The most important facts in brief
- Mammotion presents the iNavi service for precise navigation without an RTK antenna.
- The service is compatible with Mammotion’s 2025 models.
- The iNavi service will initially be launched in Germany and will later be available in other countries.
Background: Navigation technology for robotic lawnmowers
When the first robotic lawn mowers without a perimeter wire, such as the Ecovacs Goat G1 (Review | € 1,099.00 *), came onto the market, they caused quite a stir. After all, commissioning is much less complicated here than with the wired versions. But how is it even possible to dispense with the wire? Traditionally, wireless robotic lawnmowers use GPS technology in combination with an RTK (Real-Time Kinematic) antenna.

This is intended to ensure precise positioning in the garden. These antennas, which are often quite high and conspicuous, are essential for accurate positioning and efficient mowing patterns. However, the installation and integration of such antennas can be cumbersome for some users. Mammotion now wants to have found a suitable solution for precisely this user group. After all, the new iNavi service is designed to make it possible to do without antennas.
The iNavi service: functions and advantages
The newly introduced iNavi service from Mammotion enables the manufacturer’s robotic lawnmowers to achieve centimeter-accurate positioning without the traditional RTK antenna. This is achieved through a combination of sensors, AI cameras and potentially the use of 4G or Wi-Fi connections. This technology could significantly simplify the setup and handling of the robotic mowers.
The iNavi service is compatible with Mammotion’s 2025 models. This includes the recently launched Yuka mini series models (from € 898.00 *) and the Yuka series (from € 1,399.00 *). The service will initially be launched in Germany and will subsequently be available in other countries.
Conclusion
With the iNavi service, Mammotion offers an innovative solution for the precise navigation of robotic lawnmowers without the need for an RTK antenna. This could considerably simplify the installation and use of the devices and further increase the attractiveness of Mammotion products.
