RoboUP Unveils Raccoon 2 SE on Kickstarter
On November 11, 2025, RoboUP made headlines by officially launching the Raccoon 2 SE on Kickstarter—a cutting-edge yet budget-friendly robotic lawn mower designed specifically for small gardens. This innovative product utilizes AI technology to simplify lawn care while ensuring that advanced mowing capabilities are within reach for everyone, starting at a launch price of just $359 under its Super Early Bird offer.
Effortless Setup and Usability
Gone are the days of struggling with perimeter wires or complex installations. The Raccoon 2 SE is remarkably easy to use. Users can begin mowing right out of the box without any intricate wiring or setup stress. The mower is equipped with clear instructions and an intuitive interface. As Stéphane Cazat from Planetenumerique.com stated,
“True to its promise of ‘Press Play’, the Raccoon 2 SE enables users to map their lawn and start mowing immediately after unboxing.” This feature ensures that even those with minimal tech skills can set it up effortlessly.
For smaller areas under 80 square meters, this mower can even perform parallel cuts for cleaner results, eliminating the need for initial mapping. Users can simply place the device anywhere on the lawn, and let it refine the area without preliminary setup, as highlighted by Berti Kolbow-Lehradt from Handyhase.de.
Precision Cutting to the Edge
Equipped with advanced AI vision and pathplanning capabilities, the Raccoon 2 SE is adept at mowing to the very edge of the lawn without leaving uncut strips or patches. Gartenzeile noted the
“Ride-on-Edge” feature as a significant advantage, highlighting that many budget models lack such capabilities, thus reducing the amount of trimming required afterward.
Impressive Battery Life
With a powerful 5 Ah battery that charges in just 70 minutes, users can enjoy up to 150 minutes of uninterrupted mowing time. According to Jens Scharfenberg from Basic-Tutorials.de,
“With a maximum usage of 150 minutes, most lawns up to 500 square meters should be easily managed.” The superior battery performance outstrips that of standard 2.5 Ah batteries found in most similar products.
Designed for Any Terrain
Safety and versatility are top priorities, and the Raccoon 2 SE excels in this area thanks to its AI technology, strong navigation system, and self-adjusting cutting deck. It can tackle slopes of up to 36%, steps up to 4 cm high, and narrow paths of just 80 cm. This means it can cut beneath trees, around corners, and below eaves without issue. Furthermore, it can detect and avoid people, pets, and over 300 obstacles in real-time, stopping instantly if it is lifted or tilted for additional safety. An experience shared by iVax on YouTube demonstrated the mower’s responsiveness to objects, adjusting its path seamlessly when a ball was thrown or when a dog entered its vicinity, ensuring safe and worry-free mowing experiences.
