The ANTHBOT M5 PRO is a compact wire-free robot mower that combines a 360° LiDAR, full-band RTK with network RTK over its built-in 4G, and two cameras, which ANTHBOT calls HoloSense Quad-Fusion positioning.

ANTHBOT rates it for lawns up to 500 m² (0.124 acre) and for slopes up to 45% (24°), and says it needs no wire and no RTK station installed. It cuts a 20 cm (7.9 in) path from 3 to 7 cm (1.2 to 2.8 in) high, set in the app, with an edge mowing mode, and carries an IPX6 rating with a rain sensor.

ANTHBOT lists a 2.5 Ah battery with a 60-minute running time, and its manual prints a sound power under 70 dB(A) and a sound pressure of 60 dB(A). The box still holds an RTK reference station with its pole and stake, plus the charging station and a tool kit, and the first year of 4G and NetRTK is included.

The store also sells the M5 PRO + Garage M at $1,298.00.
