ANTHBOT R7 Series Sweeps Twelve Honors at IFA 2026 with Robotic-Arm Edge Trimming

The next-generation AWD robotic mower integrates robotic-arm technology into autonomous mowing to enable zero-gap edge trimming.

BERLIN, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- ANTHBOT, an innovator in intelligent lawn robotics, received twelve industry and media honors at IFA 2026 for its new R7 Series robotic mower, including being named an IFA Innovation Award 2026 Honoree. Featuring the EdgeEase™ robotic arm for zero-gap edge trimming, the AWD R7 Series addresses a persistent challenge in robotic mowing: lawn edges that often still require manual trimming.

Closing the Edge-Trimming Gap

While robotic mowers have automated much of routine lawn maintenance, edges along walls and fences often still require manual trimming. The R7 Series addresses this with its EdgeEase™ robotic arm, which extends beyond the mower body to trim along lawn edges as part of the autonomous mowing process.

Beyond edge trimming, the R7 Series combines a 6-motor AWD system with cameras and LiDAR for navigation on slopes and uneven terrain, while infrared thermal-signal detection helps identify animals hidden in the grass—automating more of the mowing process and reducing manual work for homeowners.

Recognized by Leading Tech Media

German technology publications CHIP and Computer Bild both named the R7 Series a Messe Highlight at IFA 2026. CHIP highlighted its integration of edge trimming, multi-sensor navigation and terrain-handling capabilities, while Computer Bild focused on the extendable trimming arm and its ability to trim lawn edges while mowing. The R7 Series also drew coverage from Netzwelt and Android Headlines.

"We believe truly simple lawn care is about giving homeowners less to do, not simply making a mower easier to operate," said Gavin Guo, CEO of ANTHBOT. "With the R7 Series, we are bringing more of the work involved in lawn care—including edge trimming—into the autonomous process."
