BERLIN, Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- NexLawn, a premium brand under MOVA offering advanced garden tools and robotic solutions, made its global debut at IFA 2025 with three groundbreaking robotic yard care products: the VIDAR Series, the VIDAR AWD Series, and the futuristic Master X Vison. Together, these models set new benchmarks for safety, intelligence, and versatility in autonomous lawn care.
"Our VIDAR and VIDAR AWD Series showcase the power of 3D LiDAR and AI stereo vision in delivering next-generation lawn care." said Jian Li, Chief Product Officer of NexLawn. "Looking ahead, NexLawn plans to expand its ecosystem beyond robotic mowers, with future innovations in smart garden tools, robotic pool cleaners and other next-generation yard technologies currently in development."
The VIDAR and VIDAR AWD Series will launch in Europe and North America in spring 2026. At the exhibition, NexLawn partnered with MOVA to showcase smart yard innovations, with MOVA presenting its gardening tools and NexLawn highlighting its future plans.
NexLawn Master X: Redefining Outdoor Robotics
The Master X Vison reimagines what's possible in autonomous yard care, combining advanced mobility with a fully integrated robotic arm. Mounted on a 25 cm-high four-wheel-drive chassis, the arm folds down to just 44.5 cm and extends up to 77 cm—reaching as far as 1 meter to perform complex outdoor tasks with precision.
With multiple interchangeable tools—including a multi gripper, a trimmer head, and an edging disc head, Master X goes far beyond mowing. It can weed, trim, pick up branches and toys, harvest fruits, and even play fetch with pets.
NexLawn VIDAR AWD: Power and Precision for Challenging Lawns
Engineered for areas up to 3,000㎡, the VIDAR AWD Series combines robust all-terrain performance with NexDetect™ technology, which integrates 3D LiDAR and stereo vision for wire-free, high-precision mapping and obstacle detection. It conquers slopes of up to 80 percent, trims edges with less than 1.5 cm of uncut grass, and detects more than 300 types of obstacles in real time. Users control mowing height, patterns, and safety settings directly through the NexLawn App.
NexLawn VIDAR Series: Compact, Smart, and Efficient
For medium to large lawns up to 2,000㎡, the VIDAR Series offers advanced mapping and navigation in a more compact form. Powered by 3D LiDAR and stereo vision, it manages dual maps for complex layouts, handles 50 percent slopes, and navigates narrow 60 cm paths. With NexTrim™ technology, uncut edges are reduced to under 1 cm, so post-mowing touch-ups are kept to a minimum.
MOVA's 60V Garden Tool Series：Where Power Meets Intelligence
The MOVA 60V series is designed to unite intelligence and strength in one premium platform. Equipped with high-torque brushless motors, a robust IPX4-rated build, and an advanced battery system, the range delivers gas-like performance while staying quiet, clean, and effortless to use.
From adaptive blade speed control to ergonomic refinements and intuitive digital interactions, each feature makes lawn care smarter, safer, and easier. App connectivity and OTA updates ensure the tools remain reliable and future-ready.
Flagship models bring this vision to life: the GL620 self-propelled mower with PaceMate™ technology naturally adjusts to the user's walking pace for smooth, efficient mowing, while the GT616 grass trimmer integrates an EquiDrive™ central-drive motor for balanced, precise cutting power.
Built for performance and tuned for intelligence, the MOVA 60V series redefines premium lawn care — delivering professional-grade results through advanced design and innovation.

NexLawn Unveils Arm-Equipped Robotic Mowers and Smart Yard Lineup at IFA 2025
NexLawn Unveils Arm-Equipped Robotic Mowers and Smart Yard Lineup at IFA 2025
- Having secured the fully driverless commercial permit in mid-November 2025, the partners have launched fully autonomous ride-hailing service via the AutoGo app.
- Initial operations cover Yas Island, with phased expansion planned for Reem, Al Maryah, and Saadiyat Islands.
- The launch marks a critical step toward the partners' goal of deploying hundreds of vehicles by 2026 and building Abu Dhabi's largest fully driverless fleet.
ABU DHABI, UAE, Jan. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIDU and HKEX: 9888) today announced that its autonomous ride-hailing service, Apollo Go, and AutoGo, a leading UAE-based autonomous mobility company, have officially launched the fully autonomous commercial ride-hailing service in the emirate. The launch of the service, now available via the AutoGo app, marks a major milestone in the commercialization of autonomous driving in the Middle East. The service has launched initially on Yas Island, where users in Abu Dhabi can now download the app to hail fully driverless rides.
The collaboration between Baidu's Apollo Go and K2's AutoGo began in March 2025, when they announced the partnership to build Abu Dhabi's largest fully driverless fleet. Building on that momentum, the companies secured one of the inaugural permits for fully driverless commercial operation in Abu Dhabi in mid-November 2025 and signed a next-phase agreement to scale the fleet to hundreds of vehicles by 2026. With the service now available to the general public through the AutoGo app, the partners are actively advancing their goal of establishing the emirate's largest fully driverless fleet.
"Moving from an initial partnership agreement to launching live, fully driverless operations for the public in a span of just a few months is a remarkable milestone," said Liang Zhang, Managing Director of EMEA at Baidu Apollo. "This speed of execution highlights the technical readiness of Apollo Go, the strong operational capabilities of our partnership, and the steadfast support of local regulatory bodies."
"AutoGo's transition to live robotaxi operations marks an important milestone in Abu Dhabi's autonomous mobility journey," said Sean Teo, Managing Director of K2. "Launching the service at the start of the year reflects our focus on execution and long-term value creation. By introducing robotaxi services in real urban environments and scaling across key districts, we are moving decisively from development to deployment—delivering autonomy that is practical, safe, and ready for everyday use."
The initial operation covers Yas Island, a premier leisure and entertainment hub in Abu Dhabi, now designated as a permitted zone for fully driverless operations. This service allows users to simply download the AutoGo app, request a ride, and experience a journey in a vehicle with no human driver behind the wheel.
Following the initial launch on Yas Island, the service will implement a phased geographic roll-out across Abu Dhabi. The expansion will begin with Reem Island, Al Maryah Island, and Saadiyat Island. Over time, the service will continue to expand across additional areas, with the long-term objective of operating across the wider Abu Dhabi emirate.
Apollo Go's rapid expansion into the UAE is backed by its industry-leading autonomous driving technology and proven real-world operational expertise. As a leading autonomous ride‑hailing service provider globally, Apollo Go has logged more than 240 million autonomous kilometers, of which over 140 million kilometers were completed in fully driverless mode. With a global footprint across 22 cities, Apollo Go's weekly ride count has recently surpassed 250,000, and the service has completed more than 17 million cumulative rides as of October 31, 2025. Looking ahead, Apollo Go and AutoGo will scale fully autonomous commercial ride-hailing services to reach more users and advance Abu Dhabi's smart city vision.
