Rokibot G7 AWD 3000

What a MowerLab field test of the Rokibot G7 AWD 3000 would cover: network RTK and VSLAM positioning under trees, all-wheel drive and CareSteer steering on slopes and turns, a wide two-disc deck along our edges, and our 7 mapped obstacles. None of this is a test result. It is the list of questions our property is set up to answer.

Positioning with no base station. Rokibot says the G7 uses NetRTK with VSLAM, so there is no RTK antenna to install. Network RTK depends on a correction service and a phone signal, and satellite fixes weaken under canopy. We would check whether the map holds near a tree by the street, a tree in the back yard and a treehouse near the creek edge, and whether the mower drifts or stops when the signal drops.

Slopes and turns. Rokibot rates every G7 for an 80% grade (38.7°) and describes all-wheel drive with its own CareSteer steering. We have not measured our property's grades yet, so a test would report how it handled the slopes we have, not whether it reaches 80%. We would also look at the turf after repeated turns, since a 23 kg AWD mower can scuff grass when it pivots.

Obstacles and edges. The G7 detects obstacles with binocular vision AI backed by a bumper, and Rokibot claims 350+ object types. A bumper means contact is part of the design, so we would record which obstacles it touches: a basketball hoop on a square cement post block, a raised garden with a gate, metal-edged landscaping with white-washed stone around the house, and a no-go area marked with garden stakes and caution tape. The 35 cm deck bears on how close it mows to each edge.

Coverage and connectivity. The 3000 is rated for 0.75 acre, and the lawn it would mow is about 0.52 acre of our 0.78-acre lot. Rokibot does not state runtime, so we would time a full job, count recharges and check that it resumes where it stopped. 4G data is included for three years, then $29 a year, which bears on long-term cost. App, cut quality, rain handling and noise would be checked as for every mower.

MowerLab field tests run on one 0.78-acre residential test property with 7 mapped obstacles (property details).
