Garden and lawn: the robot works while you rest

The lawn mows itself, and that is the only part of the promise that is already mature

A garden is friendly terrain for a robot: repetitive tasks, few people underfoot, few sudden events. At the same time, this is where manufacturers' descriptions most easily outrun reality, so we start with a split into mature robots and those still finding their feet.

Mature and relatively cheap: mowing robots. This is a separate, mass consumer market, and this catalog does not describe individual mower models, so we will not give their prices or specifications here. We do know that Poland has shops with a broad range: RKserwis carries mowing robots from Segway, Mammotion and Belrobotics, Wybot pool robots and EGO power tools (RKserwis). Newer designs increasingly do without a boundary wire around the lawn and find their way by satellite or with cameras. When buying, check which navigation system a given model uses and how it copes under trees.

Professional and expensive: vegetable-garden robots, such as the French Naio Oz.

Spectacular, but closer to a gadget than a tool: quadruped robots like the Unitree Go2.

Naio Oz: a small robot that does the work between the beds

Naio Oz is the closest to a garden among the robots we cover. Its maker, Naio Technologies of Escalquens near Toulouse, designs it for small vegetable farms, market gardening and vineyards. The electric robot carries 60 kg and, according to the manufacturer, works up to 8 hours on one charge. It moves around the field using GNSS RTK satellite navigation (Naio), following a map the operator drew beforehand, so it needs no stakes or tapes. Depending on the attached tool, it sows, weeds mechanically, loosens the soil or carries crates.

The manufacturer does not publish prices, and we have not confirmed a distributor in Poland. For a Polish gardener it is therefore more a preview of where things are heading than a product to order this week. How field robotization looks under Polish conditions is covered in “Robots in Farming: How Field Automation Looks in Poland”, and professional uses are in the farm section.

A robot dog on the plot: what the Go2 can really do

Unitree Go2 is the opposite of a quiet garden: showy, agile, a hit with guests. It weighs about 15 kg, carries 7–8 kg in the basic versions, runs at up to 5 m/s according to the manufacturer (a lab result) and has a 4D LiDAR and a wide-angle HD camera. It usually works 1–2 hours per charge (Unitree). It cannot mow or weed. It works well as a mobile observer of the grounds and as a platform for learning robot programming. More on what to expect from it: “Unitree Go2 Review: Prices and the Air, Pro, X and EDU Versions”.

Prices checked on 2 October 2026: Delta Robots PLN 9,900 (≈ EUR 2,260), Botland PLN 11,999 (≈ EUR 2,740), x-kom PLN 12,000 (≈ EUR 2,740) (Air version), and the Pro version at Komputronik PLN 21,399 (≈ EUR 4,900). Unitree Robotics itself quotes from USD 1,600, but that is the price of the simplest version, excluding taxes and shipping. The wheeled variant, Unitree Go2-W, is meant for site inspection and costs up to PLN 195,500 (≈ EUR 44,720) according to drony.net (drony.net): an absurd sum for a home garden, though not for a large industrial site. For an overview of quadruped uses, see “Quadruped Robots: Uses in Inspection, Security and Industry”.

A home watchman for a few hundred zloty

At the other end of the scale stands the Enabot EBO Air 2, a camera ball with a laser for playing with pets; in the manufacturer's shop the EBO Air costs USD 119 after a cut from USD 199 (Enabot). It is a home robot, not a garden one, and we have not confirmed a Polish seller. We mention it because it shows how low the entry threshold to consumer robotics can be. If you mount any camera outdoors, keep GDPR in mind; we explain it in “Data Security: Robots with Cameras and the GDPR”.

The division of tasks in the garden

The lawn is mowed by a robot mower (we do not describe individual models in this catalog). Vegetable beds are not served by any robot we know of that is available to consumers; the Naio Oz is designed for professional farms. Further possibilities include the home robots in the home robots category, which do not yet prune roses, and the farm section. To see where robots already work without reservations, look at warehouses.

Buy now or wait

• Lawn: buy. The market is mature, the choice is wide, and service is available from Polish sellers.
• Professional vegetable garden: ask manufacturers directly, and expect to go through an importer and to find no prices on a price list.
• Robot dog for the garden: only if you want to learn programming or need a "wow" effect. It is not enough for garden work.

Costs and subsidies

There are no subsidies for a home garden. Poland's robotization tax relief (ulga na robotyzację) covers businesses that pay CIT or PIT outside agricultural activity, and only equipment that meets the statutory definition of an industrial robot (podatki.gov.pl), so neither a mower nor a Go2 is likely to qualify. We explain the rules in “Poland's Robotization Tax Relief”. Before buying for a business, ask a tax adviser; we do not assess whether specific models qualify.

Three questions before you buy

First: what terrain do you have? Steep slopes, narrow passages between flower beds and deep shade under trees are places where mowing robots sometimes get lost. Ask the seller how a given model handles such terrain, and whether you can return it. Second: who will service it? The robot winters in the garage and needs a check-up in spring, so find out whether the seller has a workshop in Poland. Third: do you want a closed system with the manufacturer's app, or an open one you can extend? The Unitree robot dog belongs to the second group but requires programming, as we describe in the article on “How to Start Learning Robotics in Poland”. Before buying, also ask how winter storage works, whether batteries and parts are available, and whether the manufacturer's app works in Polish. These small things decide, after two seasons, whether the device is still working or gathering dust in the garage.

Bottom line

The garden is today the easiest place for a first encounter with a robot, but in only one role: the mower. The rest is either equipment for professional vegetable growers (Naio Oz) or a spectacular toy (Go2). As home robots mature, the boundary will shift to work among the beds and in the house too; look at the home section then.
