Vision guided robot mower and autumn leaves

Wondering if a lawn littered with autumn leaves will be an issue for the likes of Luba 2 mini and Eufy vision guided robot mowers. i.e. will leaves be seen as obstacles?

Good question—generally, light leaf coverage isn’t a problem, but heavier fall can be.

Vision-guided mowers like the Luba 2 Mini and Eufy rely on cameras to identify obstacles, so scattered leaves will usually just get mulched as they mow. However, if the lawn is heavily covered, leaves can sometimes be “seen” as obstacles or make navigation a bit less reliable.

That said, you do have some control—you can adjust the obstacle avoidance sensitivity and even define certain areas as obstacle-free zones, which helps prevent the mower from overreacting to things like leaves.

In practice, during peak autumn you may still need to step in occasionally—either clearing heavier patches or mowing more frequently to keep things manageable. Mark

    Thanks Mark Looks like this could be an issue and might need reverting to current lawnmower when the lawn is covered in leaves. I’m now seriously considering the Navimow (solid state Lidar and ability to mow into corners reasonably well). Many thanks for your reviews which have been extremely helpful Dave
