Segway’s Navimow robotic lawnmower range upgraded with V3.0 software update

Published on: 12/03/2025

Segway Navimow has implemented a V3.0 software updatefor all machines in its i Series range, introducing a host of intuitive features that allow users to mow with even greater ease and efficiency. The Navimow X3 Series – launching in the UK on 2^nd April – will come equipped with this latest firmware update as standard.

New features include connectivity with smart speakers and increased resilience in adverse weather conditions.

Enhanced mowing characteristics

The upgraded Weather Adaptive feature adjusts tasks automatically according to various conditions. When rain, snow, frost, strong winds, and high temperatures are detected, the mower will either pause or delay upcoming tasks. This allows Navimow machines to navigate challenging weather with versatility, adapting mowing patterns to suit the climate.

With the new ‘Doodle’ feature, mowers can curate personalised messages or add pictures to their lawns with custom patterns. Users can choose from letters, numbers and a diverse range of 29 default designs to celebrate milestone occasions such as birthdays and holidays.

The Traction Control System (TCS) improves the mower’s stability and mobility, enabling it to tackle wet and muddy terrains, as well as other complex garden features (such as buried garden lights or retractable sprinklers) without getting stuck or damaging lawns. This is the first time a TCS has been integrated in a robot lawnmower, with off-road-vehicle grade traction control technology capable of seamlessly handling complex grassy terrain and providing unparalleled stability for all mowing tasks.

Additionally, the Edge Mowing feature improves performance around off-limit islands to deliver a cleaner finish without leaving uncut edges, while Controller Mode guides i Series and X3 Series models to specific locations on the map.

Smart speaker integration

By adding the Navimow to Google Home smart speakers, users can now control the robotic mower via Google Assistant. For example, to begin a mowing cycle, Navimow owners can simply relay any command that resembles "OK Google, start mowing," to their Google Home device. Other useful instructions include directing the Navimow to return to its charging station and triggering outdoor security cameras when the mower commences its operation.

An innovative upgrade also permits the Navimow to communicate with its owner through the Voice Feedback functionality. This machine can broadcast its current status in relation to a specific scenario, such as if the battery is running low.

Bolstering security with upgraded safety features

The software update yields greater security for Navimow users. An improved alarm system is triggered when the mower has been lifted up, with a push notification sent directly to the app. Navimow owners can also turn on the child lock feature, which prevents interference from children or pets while the mower is working or on standby.

George Ren, CEO of Segway Navimow BU, commented: “This latest set of upgrades are designed to enhance the functionality of the Navimow range, while also introducing some unique options users can leverage to add excitement to their mowing experience. Ultimately, increased security, safety and usability will optimise performance across the Navimow portfolio, with owners benefiting from an unprecedented level of mowing efficiency.”
