If you’ve shopped for a robot vacuum in the last few years, you’ve definitely come across Roborock, and possibly even own one of their excellent home care devices. The brand built its reputation on robots that map your home, dodge your furniture, and clean your floors. Now, it’s taking this prowess to the outside to tackle a chore nobody looks forward to doing – mowing the lawn.

Roborock is moving into the smart lawn care space with the RockNeo Q110H, its first US launch, bringing the same navigation, mapping, and obstacle-avoidance know-how from the inside to the outdoors. Here’s what you need to know.

While there were robot mowers before, one of the biggest issues with them was the need to install a boundary wire for navigation. It was complicated, time-consuming, and a difficult chore by itself. With the RockNeo Q110H, you don’t have to worry about any of that.

Setup happens through the Roborock app. You pair the mower, tap “Create a Map,” then drive it around the edge of your lawn once using the on-screen controls. The robot records that boundary, builds a map of your yard, and it’s ready to go.

The mower also features AI-powered smart mapping, which makes setup even easier and helps navigation and mowing become much faster by learning your yard over time.

Roborock’s robot vacuums are known for their fantastic AI-powered navigation capabilities, so it’s no surprise that this is also one of the highlights of the brand’s robot lawn mower. The RockNeo Q110H uses a system the company calls Sentisphere Environmental Perception. This basically means it has two ways to determine its position and switches between them automatically.

In open areas, the Q110H uses full-band RTK satellite positioning, which is accurate to a few centimeters. But satellite signals can get iffy under heavy tree cover or near a building or home. In these situations, the lawn mower switches to VSLAM for visual navigation and steers using its cameras instead.
