The Mammotion Luba 4 AWD roves your yard using four cameras on the front, sides, and rear of the device, along with a 360\-degree LiDAR system and network RTK, which taps into the cloud for navigation\. Mammotion says the three\-sensor system helps to ensure “zero dead zones and zero drift\.” Additionally, the Luba 4 AWD comes with independent front\-wheel steering, helping the mower change directions without U\-turns that might leave tracks on your yard\.

The Luba 4 AWD is available in three models, with the 3000F cutting up to 0\.75 acres and the 6000F handling up to 1\.5 acres\. The 12000F is designed to cut up to 3 acres, but it doesn’t support the edge\-trimming attachment\. The dual\-disc system on the 3000F and 6000F models supports a wider 17\.3\-inch cutting width, while the three cutting discs on the 12000F span 20\.9 inches\. Mammotion plans to open preorders for the Luba 4 AWD later this year, but it hasn’t shared details on pricing yet\.
