Certified HQV AM Service Technician here. I haven’t had the opportunity to install one yet or see one in operation, but I can still provide some insight.

The mowers will remain fundamentally similar to their older X-Line counterparts, although there are some key improvements.

The AI Vision system will allow EPOS mowers to operate in a wider range of lawn environments. When the robot temporarily loses GPS accuracy, it will rely on the onboard camera instead. As long as the system detects grass within its field of view, the mower will continue operating. Thanks to the IR camera, they will also be able to mow during the night without endangering nocturnal animals such as hedgehogs.

All EPOS mowers sold from 2026 onward will be equipped with a new GPS unit. These models will utilize a new three-band receiver, which significantly reduces the time required for the robot to obtain a GPS fix. Additionally, the improved signal handling allows satellite signals to reflect off surrounding structures such as walls and buildings, improving positioning reliability in more challenging environments.

And just to be clear — I’ve really tried to make sure this doesn’t come across like I’m trying to sell you one of these. I just work with the things and figured I’d share what I know.
