Thailand welcomes 2026 with countdown celebrations anchored by Phayao and Su-ngai Kolok
LAS VEGAS, April 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Smart garden robotics brand LOPKIN showcased its L Series robotic lawn mowers at the National Hardware Show 2026 (NHS 2026), marking its continued expansion into the North American market. Designed for small to mid-sized residential lawns, the new series focuses on wire-free setup, intelligent navigation, and ease of use.
The debut attracted strong interest from industry professionals and channel partners across North America, as demand grows for smarter, low-maintenance lawn care solutions.
From Wired Installation to Wire-Free Operation
The LOPKIN L Series addresses the industry's biggest pain point: complex installation. Unlike traditional mowers that require hours of burying boundary wires, the L Series utilizes a high-precision multi-source fusion navigation system. Combining RTK-GPS positioning with Visual-Inertial Odometry (VIO), the mower autonomously maps the yard and creates virtual boundaries right out of the box.
Furthermore, LOPKIN introduces its exclusive HaLow Wi-Fi connectivity. This technology eliminates the need for complex app-based network pairing and ensures a stable, long-range signal that covers even the largest properties, maintaining a seamless connection where standard Wi-Fi often fails.
AI-Powered Perception for Safer, Smarter Mowing
The L Series is equipped with a vision-based perception system capable of recognizing over 300 common yard objects, including pets, children, and outdoor obstacles.
With real-time obstacle detection and adaptive path planning, the mower dynamically adjusts its route to enhance both safety and operational efficiency, particularly in complex and changing outdoor environments.
Engineered for the North American Landscape
To handle the diverse and often rugged terrain of the US market, the L Series is built with a high-torque motor and a floating cutting deck.
Precision Cutting: 24 cm (9.5 inches) cutting width combined with a 290 m²/h efficiency ensures quick coverage,and manages tough grass types like Kentucky Bluegrass and St. Augustine.
Terrain Mastery: Effortlessly handles slopes up to 22° (40% incline)
Intelligent Management: The "Lawn Steward" mode leverages a database of 100+grass species to automatically adjust cutting height and frequency throughout the growing season.
Expanding North America Presence and Global Partnerships
LOPKIN is actively accelerating its North America expansion strategy through local distributor networks and retail channels, aiming to scale its market presence in key regions.
Leveraging its in-house manufacturing and R&D capabilities, the company also offers flexible OEM/ODM solutions for global partners seeking customized smart lawn care products.
A company spokesperson commented: "We believe lawn care should be simple and accessible. By combining wire-free technology with intelligent decision-making, we aim to deliver a more effortless experience for homeowners."
As technologies such as RTK positioning, AI perception, and data-driven automation continue to evolve, robotic lawn mowers are transitioning from standalone tools into integrated lawn management systems.
LOPKIN's product approach reflects this broader shift toward wire-free operation and intelligent outdoor automation.
About LOPKIN
LOPKIN is a smart garden technology brand dedicated to integrating robotics, AI, and lawn science into a unified ecosystem. By providing reliable, autonomous solutions, LOPKIN aims to simplify home maintenance and empower users worldwide.
