RoboUP Launches Raccoon 2 SE on Kickstarter
Today marks the official launch of RoboUP's Raccoon 2 SE on Kickstarter, a cutting-edge yet budget-friendly robot mower designed for small lawns. With advanced computer vision technology and a robust drive system, this innovative product aims to bring intelligent lawn maintenance within reach of everyone.
Unboxing and Mowing Made Easy
Gone are the days of dealing with complicated wiring and installation procedures. The Raccoon 2 SE allows users to dive straight into mowing right upon unboxing. No need for extensive setup—just press the 'Mow' button and let the robot handle the rest. As Stéphane Cazat from Planetenumerique.com puts it, "With the Raccoon 2 SE, you just push a button to create a lawn map, and you can start mowing right away, all thanks to the robot's built-in screen and no additional setups needed."
For lawn areas smaller than 80 square meters, the mower can perform parallel cuts for cleaner, more efficient results without requiring prior mapping. Berti Kolbow-Lehradt from Handyhase.de confirms, "In 'target zone' mode, you can simply place the device anywhere on the lawn and let it mow. No need for preparatory area mapping."
Edge-to-Edge Mowing Precision
Equipped with precision computer vision and advanced path planning, the Raccoon 2 SE can mow right up to the edges, ensuring no uncut patches are left behind. As highlighted by Gartenzeile on their YouTube channel, "The 'Ride-on-Edge' function is especially useful, providing an advantage that many cheaper models lack, saving you from repeated trimming with a weed whacker."
Quick Charging and Extended Mowing
The Raccoon 2 SE surpasses the typical performance of 2.5 Ah batteries found in most small lawn mowers, thanks to its 5 Ah battery that charges rapidly. Jens Scharfenberg from Basic-Tutorials.de affirms, "The 150 minutes of mowing time is more than sufficient for most lawns up to the recommended maximum size of 500 square meters."
Versatile Performance and Safety
Thanks to its powerful drive system and automatic cutting deck adjustment, the Raccoon 2 SE can tackle inclines of up to 36%, steps up to 4 cm high, and narrow paths as tight as 80 cm. This capability allows it to mow seamlessly under trees, into corners, and beneath eaves. It also uses real-time obstacle detection to avoid people, pets, and more than 300 other objects, halting immediately if lifted or tilted to ensure safe mowing.
"As you can see here, I threw a ball for the mower, and it instantly detected it using its camera, adjusting its course accordingly. My dog was also detected, and the mower adapted its path to avoid him," shares iVax, a YouTuber demonstrating the product's capabilities.
