LUBA 3 AWD
A wire-free robotic mower built for steep and complicated lawns, with an equally complicated stack of positioning technology.
For a difficult lawn
LUBA 3 AWD is built for a large, hilly yard. The all-wheel-drive chassis makes immediate sense there. The LiDAR, camera, 4G, and NetRTK stack takes more homework, and the exact model matters more than the family name.
Best for
A homeowner with a steep or complicated lawn who is willing to map zones carefully and learn a fairly technical outdoor robot.

Homework before ordering
- Model names hide meaningful differences in acreage, cutting height, LiDAR, RTK hardware, and service requirements. 1,2
- Some mapping features are still scheduled for later 2026 software releases. 1
- Camera monitoring, cloud maps, 4G service, and NetRTK deserve a privacy and subscription review before purchase. 1,2
Traction before acronyms
The four driven wheels and adaptive suspension are easier to judge than the positioning acronyms. A mower that cannot cross a rut, climb a slope, or move between zones is not autonomous for long. LUBA is designed around those physical problems first. 1
Check the exact model
The LUBA 3 family covers different lawn sizes and cutting heights. The smallest model uses a different positioning mix from larger versions, while certain versions add RTK hardware or NetRTK service. Treat the suffix as part of the product name, not a storage-capacity choice. 1,2
Features scheduled for later in 2026
Auto LiveMap is scheduled for the third quarter of 2026, with straight-line adjustment later in the year. I would not let either one carry the purchase decision until it is available on the exact model you plan to buy. 1
