As technology becomes more integrated into daily life, the need for harmony between innovation and nature has never been greater. At Navimow, we believe that advancing lawn care should go hand in hand with ecological responsibility. That’s why we developed Animal-Friendly Mode a feature designed not just to protect your pets, but to actively safeguard local wildlife that may call your lawn home.
By intelligently detecting animals and adjusting the mower’s path in real time, this feature eliminates the risk of harm while meeting high standards for both safety and environmental care. It also supports compliance with growing wildlife protections regulations, ensuring that progress doesn’t come at the cost of the natural world.
At Navimow, we see technology not only as a tool to improve lives, but as a powerful way to protect the ecosystems we all share. With Animal-Friendly Mode, we’re proud to lead the way in responsible innovation delivering smarter lawn care that’s gentle on nature.
Two High-Performance Algorithms for Fast and Accurate Animal Recognition
Animal Friendly Mode uses two advanced algorithm models to generate and analyze animal data with exceptional speed and accuracy. By factoring in species type, distance, position relative to the mower, and posture, the system can create a wide range of realistic animal profiles. These models are further enhanced with real-world yard data and paired with a custom-developed data generation algorithm that aligns perfectly with the mower’s unique field of view. Ensuring that all collected sample data is both relevant and highly accurate.
Building on this foundation, our high-performance detection models allow the mower to recognize a broader range of animals, including previously unseen species. Our proprietary identification algorithm rapidly matches image and text features, enabling fast and reliable recognition of numerous animals. This ensures that mowing operations remain safe, intelligent, and animal-friendly.
Tested Millions of Times for Near-Human Animal Recognition Accuracy
Powered by high-performance computing, we ran millions of simulation test to train a highly efficient and reliable animal recognition model. This model was then integrated into the robotic mower system and further refined through thousands of real-world lawn tests. Each iteration helped improve the system’s ability to detect and respond to animals in practical mowing environments. As a result, the mower can now identify and avoid animals within milliseconds. Delivering near-human accuracy and ensuring both safety and peace of mind.
Advanced Technology for Accurate Animal Obstacle Detection
With limited real-world data available for hedgehogs, we leveraged the strong generalization capabilities of our algorithm to build a comprehensive and reliable hedgehog dataset. By combining this with targeted real-world testing, we significantly improved the mower’s ability to recognize and safely avoid hedgehogs in various lawn environments to further enhance the accuracy and effectiveness of Animal Friendly Mode.
Real-World Applications of Animal Friendly Mode
In real-world use, our intelligent mowing robot consistently detects and avoids pets and wildlife, helping ensure animals remain safe during operation. Whether it’s a backyard cat, hedgehog, or other small creatures, Animal Friendly Mode allows for worry-free mowing. Giving users peace of mind while keeping their lawns perfectly maintained.
Precise Recognition of 13 Common Animal Species
VisionFence technology enables accurate obstacle detection, with the ability to recognize over 150 different objects. Integrated with Animal Friendly Mode, it precisely identifies up to 13 common animal species including household pets, poultry, and small livestock. While mowing, the system maintains a safe distance of at least one meter from detected animals, helping to ensure their safety at all times. With this intelligent protection in place, you can keep your lawn pristine without putting any animals at risk.
Safe Mowing By Day, Wildlife Protection by Night
To help protect nocturnal animals, our system is designed to mow only during daylight hours by default. Using GPS-based location data, it automatically calculates local sunrise and sunset times, ensuring mowing is confined to the day. This thoughtful scheduling helps avoid disturbing or harming wildlife that is active at night, offering a safer, more responsible mowing experience.
Create Custom Biolife Islands To Protect Wildlife
With the app, users can easily create and customize exclusion zones called biolife islands directly on the mowing map. These designated areas prevent the mower from operating in sensitive spots, helping preserve natural habitats for local wildlife and plants. By setting these safe zones, you actively contribute to protecting biodiversity and maintaining a healthy ecological balance around your home.
We recognize that animals both pets and local wildlife are an important part of your home environment, and their safety is our priority. Animal Friendly Mode is designed to give you the confidence to enjoy the convenience of smart mowing without worry, while also supporting the protection of surrounding wildlife. This feature reflects our broader commitment to sustainability, combining cutting-edge technology with responsible design. Our goal is not only to simplify your life, but to do so in a way that’s thoughtful, eco-conscious, and aligned with a more sustainable future.
