Sunseeker X Series and Other Product Highlights
The team introduced the AONavi Positioning and Navigation System, which integrates Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) satellite positioning and VSLAM visual navigation, helping the mowers navigate complex lawns more accurately, even in environments with obstacles or irregular shapes. The Vision AI System, using a 3D binocular camera, enhances the mower's ability to map its surroundings and adjust to varying lawn conditions.
Designed for flexibility, the X Series features an all-wheel drive system that allows models like the X7 to manage slopes up to 70% (35°) and the X5 to handle 60% (30°) inclines. The floating cutting design ensures even mowing across dense grass and uneven terrains, further enhancing performance. The series also boasts a driven and steering motor for smart turning and gentle grass contact, reducing the turning radius for a more precise cut. By simultaneously trimming and scarifying the lawn, these products provide efficient maintenance, ensuring a lush and healthy yard with minimal effort. The entire X Series can be controlled through an intuitive mobile app, which allows users to schedule mowing times, plan cutting zones, and customize paths according to the layout of their lawn. The app's features, such as multi-zone planning, intelligent path planning, customized schedule, and auto cutting height adjustment make it easy to manage multiple lawn areas, reducing manual intervention.
Additionally, other impressive features include Super Wi-Fi (which extends signal transmission by 400% compared to standard Wi-Fi), auto rain detection, and auto recharge, helping streamline the mowing process. These capabilities are intended to provide users with a more convenient, hands-off lawn care experience.
As part of its product line expansion, Sunseeker also introduced the Robotic Mower S Series tailored to retailers and 60 Volt Commercial & Prosumer handheld OPE Series, a range designed for professional landscapers. The latter includes products such as lawnmowers, blowers, chainsaws, hedge trimmers, pole hedges, and brush cutters. Built with a focus on durability, power, and user comfort, these tools are aimed at professionals who require efficient, high-performance equipment for demanding tasks.
