MOVA's New Robots Bring AI-Powered Luxury to Lawn and Pool Care
HONG KONG – March 19, 2026 – Smart home technology leader MOVA has officially stepped out of the living room and into the yard, launching a pair of sophisticated robotic assistants designed to automate outdoor chores. The company today unveiled the LiDAX Ultra 3000 AWD robotic lawnmower and the Rover X10 robotic pool cleaner, two premium devices that leverage advanced AI and LiDAR sensor technology to bring a new level of intelligence and autonomy to home maintenance.
This expansion marks a pivotal moment for the company, known primarily for its indoor smart ecosystems. By tackling the complex and often grueling tasks of lawn and pool care, MOVA is making a bold statement about the future of the fully automated home—one where weekends are no longer for chores, but for leisure.
The New Frontier of Home Automation
MOVA's new offerings are engineered to replace hours of manual labor with set-and-forget convenience. The LiDAX Ultra 3000 AWD is a robotic lawnmower built for complex properties, capable of mapping and maintaining lawns up to 0.75 acres. Its all-wheel-drive system is designed to conquer hilly terrain and obstacles, while its precision trimming system ensures clean edges along pathways and flowerbeds.
Simultaneously, the Rover X10 aims to redefine pool maintenance. Billed as a 7-in-1 cleaning companion, it is designed to autonomously scrub and vacuum a pool’s floor, walls, steps, and even the waterline, promising a comprehensive clean without the homeowner ever needing to handle a hose or skimmer. Both devices are managed through the central MOVAhome app, allowing users to schedule cleanings, define no-go zones, and monitor progress from anywhere.
“This isn't just another hardware launch; we're offering a sophisticated and seamless layer of intelligence that anticipates the needs of modern homeowners,” said Jiajia Chen, Head of Marketing of MOVA North America, in the company's announcement. “By bringing our most advanced LiDAR technology to the outdoors, we are simplifying lawn and pool maintenance and marking the next evolution of the MOVA ecosystem—engineered to help you reclaim your weekends.”
LiDAR Unleashed: A New Standard for Outdoor Intelligence
The technological centerpiece of both new robots is their LiDAR-vision hybrid intelligence. For years, robotic lawnmowers have been hampered by the need for buried perimeter wires, a cumbersome and inflexible installation process. More recent innovations have relied on GPS-RTK systems, which can struggle with signal loss near tall buildings or under dense tree cover. MOVA’s LiDAX Ultra 3000 AWD combines 360-degree high-precision LiDAR with an AI-enhanced camera in its UltraView™ 2.0 system. This allows the mower to create hyper-accurate, real-time maps of its environment, navigate with centimeter-level precision, and dynamically avoid obstacles like garden gnomes, toys, or pets, day or night.
Perhaps more groundbreaking is the application of this technology to the aquatic environment. The Rover X10 is reportedly the first robotic pool cleaner to incorporate LiDAR. Its 360° AquaScan™ system uses an underwater laser sensor to map the pool’s entire three-dimensional structure. This data feeds into the PoolNavi™ path-planning system, which uses AI to calculate the most efficient cleaning route, ensuring no spot is missed—from the shallow steps to the tightest corners. This represents a significant leap from traditional pool robots that often rely on randomized patterns or simple bump-and-reverse algorithms.
Navigating a Crowded and Competitive Field
MOVA is entering a booming but fiercely competitive market. The global demand for robotic lawnmowers and pool cleaners has surged, with market size projections for each category expected to climb into the billions of dollars over the next five years. This growth is fueled by consumer demand for convenience and rapid advancements in AI and battery technology.
In the high-end lawnmower space, the LiDAX Ultra 3000 AWD, priced at $2,999 (with a promotional launch price of $2,499), will go head-to-head with established giants like Husqvarna and innovative challengers such as Mammotion and Segway Navimow, many of which also offer advanced wire-free navigation solutions. MOVA is betting that its fusion of LiDAR and camera vision, along with security features like a live video patrol mode, will provide a compelling edge.
Similarly, the Rover X10 enters a market dominated by brands like Maytronics' Dolphin and Aiper. However, MOVA has priced the Rover X10 at a distinctively premium $2,999 (on sale for $2,599), positioning it well above most high-end consumer models. This ambitious pricing strategy suggests the company is confident that the superior intelligence and comprehensive cleaning promised by its underwater LiDAR system will justify the investment for homeowners seeking the absolute best in hands-free pool care.
Building the All-Encompassing Smart Estate
The launch of these outdoor robots is more than just a product line extension; it's the realization of a broader strategic vision. MOVA has been building an integrated ecosystem spanning home cleaning, air purification, and pet care, all unified under a single app. The LiDAX Ultra 3000 AWD and Rover X10 are the crucial next step, pushing the boundaries of that ecosystem beyond the walls of the house and into the entire property.
This move mirrors a larger trend in the tech industry, where companies are racing to become the central nervous system for the modern home. By providing a seamless, automated experience that covers everything from vacuuming the floors to mowing the lawn and cleaning the pool, MOVA aims to lock users into its platform, creating a truly interconnected smart estate. With this launch, the company is no longer just making a smart home, but pioneering the smart homestead.
