Naisilao, a smart outdoor company, has shifted its strategy for robotic lawnmowers from RTK to LiDAR technology. Initially, they paused development on RTK-based mowers due to concerns about signal instability in varied outdoor environments. After gaining experience with delivery robots, they re-evaluated the market and, inspired by the success of LiDAR in robot vacuums, pivoted to 3D LiDAR. This move, supported by falling LiDAR costs and strategic partnerships with companies like Hesai Technology, aims to provide a more stable and reliable user experience, ultimately leading to lower return rates and better profitability despite higher initial sensor costs.
