Boundary-wire robot mowers
The robot follows a cable that outlines the lawn. Wire is still the high-volume search. Examples: Landroid, Automower. Updated 12 September 2026.
The boundary wire is the most widespread technology and by far the most searched. A laid or buried cable outlines the mowing zone and the robot follows it.
Why wire keeps the volume
Its decisive advantage: it depends on neither sky nor visible features. Under tree cover, in sunken gardens, between tall hedges, it works where wireless can hesitate. Its entry price is also lower.
The trade-off
The cable must be laid. Half a day to a day depending on area and islands, since each permanent obstacle needs its own loop. Once only, but real. Models tracked: Landroid, Automower.
When wire stays right
On a simple garden with no multiple zones, wire is often the best result for the price.
