What happened
Mammotion announced the LUBA 4 AWD at IFA Berlin 2026 (early September 2026) as the company's new flagship robotic mower line, positioned above the current LUBA 3 AWD in coverage, navigation, and drivetrain capability2. The product page is live on Mammotion's site1.
Three models
The LUBA 4 AWD has been announced in three coverage variants1, 2:
| Model | Coverage | Discs |
|---|---|---|
| LUBA 4 AWD 3000F | up to 3,000㎡ | Double 165W discs |
| LUBA 4 AWD 6000F | up to 6,000㎡ | Double 165W discs |
| LUBA 4 AWD 12000F | up to 12,000㎡ | Triple 165W discs |
Each disc runs a 165W motor with 6 blades1. Mammotion describes the motor as variable-speed — higher RPM for thick grass, lower RPM for quieter operation and extended battery life1.
What's new versus the LUBA 3 AWD
The key additions announced are:
Quad-Vision + 360° LiDAR + NetRTK positioning. The LUBA 4 AWD combines four wide-angle cameras ("Quad-Vision"), 360° LiDAR, and NetRTK for navigation and obstacle detection1, 2. The LUBA 3 AWD used Tri-Fusion Navigation (three cameras plus RTK); the LUBA 4 adds the LiDAR ring.
Independent front-wheel steering. Each front wheel has its own steering motor, allowing the mower to turn through a rolling arc rather than pivoting in place1. Mammotion says this avoids brown rings and visible tracks — a direct response to the tank-turn feedback that has been a community concern across the LUBA 2 and LUBA 3 lines.
Bidirectional driving system. Using front and rear cameras alongside the independent steering, the mower can reverse direction without a U-turn1. No pivot pressure, no bald patches — per Mammotion's description.
Adaptive suspension and terrain capability. Rated for slopes up to 80% (38.6°), 60mm obstacle crossing, and mowing speeds up to 1.0 m/s1, 2. The drivetrain uses all-wheel drive with active steering and "intelligent torque control per wheel."
Optional edge-trimming module. An additional edge-cutting module can be purchased separately for the 3000F and 6000F1, 2. The 12000F is explicitly listed as incompatible.
210W fast charger with adaptive charge-and-resume. The charger calculates remaining area, charges just enough to finish, then resumes automatically1.
Mammotion also announced Maston, a commercial-grade robotic mower, alongside the LUBA 4 at IFA Berlin.
No known issues to report at present. For full specifications and availability, see the LUBA 4 AWD overview.
