Oasa R1 - The Premier Robotic Reel Mower with Auto-Mapping

Robotic mowers are nothing new, but nearly all of them spin rotary blades that tear grass instead of cutting it, leaving lawns stressed and frayed. Oasa R1 brings golf-course reel cutting into a home robot — the world's first consumer-grade robotic reel mower. Its 335 mm wide reel pairs a fixed blade with high-speed precision spiral blades for a clean scissor cut that keeps grass lush; cutting height adjusts from 20 to 101 mm for a tournament-style finish. LiDAR plus vision perception builds a precise 3D map, and hover mode defines boundaries without burying wire. When blades dull, an automatic resharpening system — a first in robotic mowers — restores the edge. With just 30 mm between blade and chassis, edging needs almost no touch-ups, and an anti-theft system stands guard. Launched in June 2024, it drew 1,790 backers and $2,329,458, around 4,659% funded.
