Segway Navimow has finally created a compact robot mower that’ll treat your lawn with the meticulous care it deserves

Typically, it’s the outsized, range-topping lawnbots 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 robot mower that it says will treat smaller yards with the meticulous attention they deserve.

Of all the lawnbots I’ve seen at CES 2026, it’s the Segway Navimow i2 AWD that 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 clever features that enable it to create a perfectly manicured, striped lawn, without ever risking damaging your turf.

This robot mower has all-wheel drive – hence AWD – which is very unusual for a compact robot mower. It only has two main wheels (as is common with compact lawnbots), so it won’t be scaling especially rocky terrain.

But what it does mean is that the wheels won’t drag on your grass when the bot is turning. This is especially relevant for the tight pivots you need to create stripes.

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