선시커 S4

In homes with large lawns or golf courses, lawn mowing is a constant necessity, but it is strenuous manual labor and costly to hire professional personnel.

Existing robotic lawn mowers on the market mostly require boundary wire installation during the setup phase and often move randomly, resulting in low work efficiency and cumbersome installation. Furthermore, their obstacle recognition capabilities are poor, requiring frequent user management.

To solve these problems, Sunseeker S4 was developed as a robotic lawn mower that independently identifies obstacles and boundaries with precise sensors and efficiently navigates even in complex gardens.

Sunseeker S4's differentiated technology is a 360-degree LiDAR + AI camera sensor combination called the AllSense™ 3D sensing system. This allows it to understand the surrounding terrain and obstacles with centimeter-level precision maps,separate boundary lines (wires)without the need for users to install, realizing a "Drop & Go" automatic setup.

Unlike existing robots that move randomly and travel redundantly, the S4 efficiently covers the lawn without gaps using a sophisticated path planning algorithm, reducing working time.

In addition, the dual-wheel rear-wheel drive allows it to climb slopes with a maximum gradient of 42% (approximately 22°), making it more terrain-adaptive than competing products. When it rains or snows, the rain sensor activates to automatically stop operation, and if the device is lifted, the lift sensor stops the sharp blades to prevent safety accidents. Smart safety features are also prominent.

Above all, this innovation was recognized by experts by being selected as a CES 2026 Innovation Award winner, the first lawn mower product to be selected in the last three years.

Individual homeowners with large yards (B2C)are the primary target. Elderly homeowners who have difficulty managing their gardens directly or people who want to save lawn mowing time to improve their quality of life will purchase this product.

Alsolandscaping and garden management companies (B2B)can adopt this robot to reduce labor costs and increase efficiency. For example, businesses that manage apartment complexes or parks can operate multiple robotic lawn mowers to automatically manage large areas.

Somelocal governments (B2G)may consider introducing it for public green space management, but the market is expected to be formed mainly around consumers and the landscaping industry. As the CES award category is also designated as Home Appliances, the proportion of B2C household use is expected to be high.

Technically, there is a price increase factor due to the installation of sensors such as LiDAR, but if the cost of autonomous driving technology decreases in the long term, the popularization of robotic lawn mowers is highly possible.

Demand for lawn mowing robots already exists, especially in the United States and Europe, and Sunseeker is launching products in various regions around the world (currently on the Lowe's online platform in the Americas, etc.). Additional certification (radio wave certification, electrical safety, etc.) procedures are required for each country, but there are no major regulatory barriers.

Technology can be expanded to adjacent markets such as satellite-based agriculture and golf course management, and indoors, it is possible to imagine converting to other applications such as large carpet cleaning robots or snow removal robots instead of lawns.

In particular, the company emphasizes the "wireless autonomous work platform" technology itself, so there is room to expand the lineup to various outdoor work robots such as snow removal, watering, and fertilizer spreading in addition to weeding in the future.

As it was first recognized in the industry by being selected for the CES Innovation Award, experts are favorable to the completeness and practicality of the S4. Media reports mentioned that *"winning the Innovation Award in the lawn mower category for the first time in three years is unusual,"* indicating that the product stood out that much.

Like household robot vacuum cleaners, lawn mowers are"Finally, the era of true wireless autonomous driving has arrived."is the evaluation.

However, some point out that the price and maintenance costs are still higher than traditional push-type lawn mowers, so there is a realistic criticism that it may remain a market centered on enthusiasts.

However, demand for robotic lawn mowers is already expanding, especially in the US housing market, and Sunseeker S4 is"easy to install and smarter than competing products."is receiving favorable reviews.

Overall,"showed the future of lawn care"is the mainstream positive response, and there are high expectations in terms of solving labor shortages and eco-friendly management.
