STIGA’s Autonomous range with ‘Vista Technology’

/in , /by

STIGA’s Autonomous range with ‘Vista Technology’: STIGA, leading European manufacturer of garden machinery, is raising the bar in smart lawn care with the launch of nine new autonomous robot mowers featuring STIGA Vista Technology. The innovative AI-driven camera and new Antenna-FREE feature make these mowers smarter, faster, and easier to use than ever — delivering a perfectly healthy lawn with zero effort.

Intelligent, Fully Autonomous Mowing

At the heart of the range is STIGA Vista Technology, a new AI-driven on-board camera that allows the robots to see and understand their surroundings. The system distinguishes grass in all shapes and colours from non-grass surfaces and navigates safely around fixed or moving obstacles, ensuring continuous mowing with minimal interruptions. Equipped with HDR global shutter technology, robust aluminium housing, and Gorilla Glass protection, the camera guarantees accuracy and durability, while a front LED light enhances visibility when needed. STIGA’s Active Guidance System (AGS) analyses satellite signal quality in real time, optimising mowing sessions even under unstable conditions. Now powered by a quad-band RTK-GNSS engine that provides stronger GPS reception, the robot offers extreme navigation accuracy and smoother operation, even in challenging environments such as under trees or near buildings, ensuring reliable and precise performance. The new Antenna-FREE feature removes the need for cables or reference stations, allowing flexible placement of the charging base and faster, simpler setup — maximising the device’s productivity with minimal effort.

Precision Cutting for Healthier Lawns

STIGA robot mowers combine advanced cutting systems with gentle daily mulching, promoting a softer, healthier, and more resilient lawn. Their organised and systematic patterns allow for stripes, grids, or seamless coverage, adapting automatically to different garden layouts. Smart sensors make the robots weather-aware, avoiding mowing in wet conditions or unnecessary passes. The result is a perfectly even, meticulously maintained lawn that requires no extra effort from the user.

Built to last, designed to perform

Every model in the new range is built to last. High-quality components, a floating protective shell, and lightweight yet durable construction ensure resilience against impacts, weather, and UV exposure. The minimalist, compact design blends seamlessly into any outdoor space, delivering a discreet, elegant presence.

Powered by STIGA’s ePower battery, the robots operate quietly and efficiently, combining long-lasting performance with lower energy consumption — making lawn care both sustainable and stress-free.

Simple App Control and Effortless Maintenance

All robots are fully controllable through the award-winning STIGA.GO App (Red Dot Design Award 2025), which offers intuitive setup, monitoring, and customisation. Users can start, pause, schedule, or adjust mowing sessions from anywhere, receiving real-time notifications and guidance. Maintenance is straightforward: accessible components, easy cleaning, and the support of STIGA’s expert dealer network ensure quick servicing and optional upgrades, including accessories like the Climb & Mud Kit for enhanced traction on challenging terrain.

Models for Every Garden

The new range covers all types of outdoor spaces, from 600 m² up to 14,000 m², and includes the following models: A 6v, A 8v, A 10v, A 15v, A 25v, A 50v, A 100v, and A 140v. With the launch of this next-generation range, STIGA sets a new benchmark in smart lawn care, offering autonomous mowing that is not only efficient and precise but effortless and enjoyable for both residential and professional users and for any garden size.

The new mowers are available for purchase via the STIGA website and authorised dealers, with prices ranging from RRP £1,199 for the A6v to RRP £6,499 for the A 140v. To learn more about the range at www.stiga.com/uk/robot-lawn-mower-ai-camera-technology

Toro has a stellar track record of utility vehicles that are both reliable and efficient people transporters as well as work horses, and with the Vista that legacy continues but with an emphasis on comfort.

A sturdy frame design stems from decades of success with Workman utility vehicles and is specifically designed to carry passengers and cargo with ease. It’s paired with spacious seating for four, six or eight passengers, ample storage, cargo-enabled fold-down rear seats, independent suspension, and an ergonomic design to ensure a comfortable ride and plenty of legroom.

There are several accessories available to further enhance the comfort of the Vista, including an optional canopy for weather protection, a folding windscreen, and even a lightweight cargo bed for luggage.

Coming with two HyperCell batteries and Toro’s proprietary lithium-ion battery technology, no special charging station is needed, the battery-powered model comes equipped with an on-board 900W smart charger – a convenient charging solution that gives the Vista the capability to plug into any standard electrical socket.

Brought to the UK by distributor Reesink, it’s time to say hasta la vista to old transport buggies and hello to new innovation from Toro.
