STIGA S.p.A., the European manufacturer and distributor of garden machinery and equipment, and SiMa Technologies Inc., the Physical AI company, have announced a strategic partnership to bring AI-powered solutions to robotic lawnmowers.
STIGA will lead the industry with real-time decision-making on an ultra-low latency and power draw platform from SiMa, providing a scalable solution architecture for all robotic lawnmower products – domestic and commercial.
STIGA has established itself as a leader in lawn and garden technology, known for combining engineering excellence with practical, user-friendly design. From classic lawn mowers to state-of-the-art autonomous robotic solutions, STIGA continues to push the boundaries of innovation, delivering products that set the standards for precision, performance, and reliability in the industry. Emerging technologies like Physical AI are transforming the capabilities of autonomous devices. By embedding intelligence directly into machines, Physical AI enables devices to perceive, decide, and act independently in real-world environments. For STIGA’s robotic lawn mowers, this represents the potential for even smarter, more adaptive, and highly efficient operation. SiMa.ai is a leader in this field, providing low-power machine-learning system-on-chip (MLSoC) platforms and software that enable intelligent edge devices to run advanced AI workloads efficiently, without the need for high power consumption — a key requirement in a consumer device.
“This partnership represents a major step forward in delivering real-world AI to edge devices,” said Krishna Rangasayee, Founder and CEO of SiMa.ai. “By joining forces with STIGA, we’re removing the traditional complexity of edge AI and empowering STIGA with solutions that perform effortlessly—without compromise.”
STIGA’s leadership in autonomous garden solutions, combined with the advancements of Physical AI and the sophisticated hardware and software platforms from SiMa.ai, is shaping the next generation of smart outdoor equipment. These technologies demonstrate how autonomous devices can operate with greater precision, responsiveness, and efficiency, setting a new standard for intelligent machinery.
“At STIGA, innovation is at the heart of everything we do,” commented Sean Robinson, CEO of STIGA S.p.A. “Partnering with SiMa.ai allows us to push the boundaries of what autonomous machinery can achieve. By integrating Physical AI into our robotic lawn mowers, we’re delivering a new benchmark of intelligence and performance. How the robot senses, decides, and operates lies firmly within STIGA’s capabilities and expertise. The way these operations are delivered with low power consumption is where SiMa.ai technology truly excels — allowing the robots to achieve much more with the battery power available. This results in lighter, more efficient, and cost-effective intelligence. It’s a great example of what two experts in their fields can achieve through engineering-driven collaboration. And the real winner is the robot owner, who gets significantly more use from their machine".
