The Vacuum Giants Step Outside

The world's No. 1 robot vacuum brand now mows lawns.

Roborock built its reputation indoors: navigation, mapping, AI obstacle avoidance — refined across 19+ million households and the top-selling robot vacuum position worldwide (IDC, 2024). With the RockMow and RockNeo series, that entire technology stack steps outside.

The Numbers Are Serious

The RockMow Z1 climbs 80% inclines with four-wheel drive and a patented Active Steering System, covers up to 5,000 m² in 24 hours, and trims to within 3 cm of edges — guided by RTK and VSLAM, no boundary wire. There is even a wildlife-friendly mode that pauses night mowing to protect hedgehogs.

The Pattern Is the Real Story

But the spec sheet isn't the real story. The pattern is: companies that solved autonomous navigation in the living room are now translating it to the garden. Perception, terrain handling, and edge precision are the hard problems — and the indoor robotics veterans arrive with a decade head start.

Where This Is Heading

The garden is becoming a robotics category the same way the floor did ten years ago. At Tekpoint, we distribute Roborock across Germany, Austria and the BeNeLux — and we're convinced robotic lawn care is where robot vacuums were in 2016: right before everyone had one.
