Anthbot designs AI-powered wire-free robotic lawn mowers for homeowners in more than 30 countries, according to company records.\n\n## How the N8 Handles Four Lawn Tasks\n\nTIME's annual list recognizes 300 innovations making a meaningful impact, evaluated on originality, efficacy, ambition and impact. The N Series integrates mowing, collecting, mulching and sweeping in one autonomous system, giving homeowners more ways to manage their lawns as needs change with the seasons.\n\nThe N8 adapts its cutting and grass-handling mechanisms to three lawn care modes. In Collect mode, the Cyclone System uses airflow from the spinning blades to lift grass clippings into a 23-liter collection bag. For Mulch mode, users fit a dedicated six-blade disc and mulching deflector, and the Particle System finely chops clippings and spreads them evenly across the lawn. In Sweep mode, the N8 cuts and collects fallen leaves.\n\nThe N8 also automates collection and emptying. A built-in sensor detects when the bag needs emptying and prompts the mower to travel to a drop-off area designated in the Anthbot app, then resumes work without human intervention. Beyond its 4-in-1 functionality, the N8 combines Full-Band RTK positioning with Dual Vision to support navigation across varied lawn environments, and its low center of gravity and large off-road wheels are designed to improve stability on uneven ground.\n\n## Anthbot's Distribution and Product Reach\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Anthbot was founded in 2023 and is headquartered in Singapore. The same records list more than 150 distributors and 3,000 retail outlets, and more than 100,000 users worldwide. Anthbot's products are available through major European retailers including BAUHAUS, Boulanger, Elkjøp, Salling Group and Landi, and the company is a top-selling robotic lawn mower brand on Amazon Germany.\n\n## Earlier Anthbot Launches and Reviews\n\nAnthbot launched the N8 in Europe and the U.S. in September 2026, combining mowing, collecting, mulching and sweeping, with prices starting at €1,599 in Europe and $1,699 in the U.S., PR Newswire reported. In October 2026, T3 published a review describing the N8 as arguably the most versatile wireless robot mower on the market, citing its ability to mow, mulch, collect grass clippings and sweep leaves with an auto-dump feature. Also in October 2026, PR Newswire APAC reported that Anthbot is bringing its Genie 600E robotic lawn mower to Costco Australia through in-store roadshows from October 2026 to January 2027.\n\n## What Comes Next for Anthbot\n\nThe Genie 600E roadshows at Costco Australia are scheduled to run through January 2027, according to PR Newswire APAC. Anthbot's products are available in more than 30 countries, the company said.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
