STIGA and SiMa.ai Forge Partnership to Advance AI in Robotic Lawn Mowers

STIGA S.p.A., a leading European manufacturer and distributor of garden machinery, has entered into a strategic partnership with SiMa Technologies Inc., specialists in Physical AI, to enhance robotic lawnmower technology with advanced AI capabilities. This collaboration will see STIGA integrate SiMa’s ultra-low latency, low power consumption AI platform into its range of robotic lawnmowers, offering a scalable solution for both domestic and commercial models.

Renowned for its engineering excellence and user-centric design, STIGA has long been at the forefront of lawn and garden technology. Its product portfolio spans from traditional lawn mowers to cutting-edge autonomous robotic systems, consistently setting industry standards for precision, performance, and reliability.

Physical AI represents a transformative approach to autonomous devices by embedding intelligence directly within the machines. This enables devices to perceive their environment, make decisions, and act independently in real time. For STIGA’s robotic lawnmowers, this advancement promises smarter, more adaptive, and highly efficient operation.

SiMa.ai leads in delivering low-power machine-learning system-on-chip (MLSoC) platforms and software that allow intelligent edge devices to execute complex AI tasks without excessive energy consumption—a critical factor for consumer devices.

Krishna Rangasayee, Founder and CEO of SiMa.ai, stated: “This partnership marks a significant advancement in bringing practical AI to edge devices. Collaborating with STIGA enables us to simplify edge AI deployment and provide solutions that operate seamlessly without compromise.”

Combining STIGA’s expertise in autonomous garden equipment with SiMa.ai’s innovative Physical AI technology and sophisticated hardware and software platforms is set to redefine smart outdoor machinery. These developments will enable autonomous devices to function with enhanced precision, responsiveness, and energy efficiency, establishing new benchmarks for intelligent equipment.

Sean Robinson, CEO of STIGA S.p.A., commented: “Innovation drives everything we do at STIGA. Our partnership with SiMa.ai allows us to extend the capabilities of autonomous machinery. Integrating Physical AI into our robotic lawnmowers sets a new standard for intelligence and performance. While STIGA focuses on how the robot senses, decides, and operates, SiMa.ai’s technology excels in delivering these functions with minimal power consumption. This synergy results in lighter, more efficient, and cost-effective intelligent machines. Ultimately, the greatest beneficiary is the user, who enjoys significantly enhanced utilisation of their equipment.”
