Physical AI technology is changing the landscape of the autonomous outdoor equipment market.

SiMa.ai, an intelligent edge AI company, announced on the 26th that it has partnered with STIGA, a European garden equipment specialist, for a strategic collaboration to apply AI-based real-time control technology to robotic lawnmowers.

The core of this collaboration is an ultra-low latency, low-power AI platform.

Syma AI provides a computational structure optimized for edge environments, and Stiga plans to utilize this to build a scalable architecture applicable to both home and commercial robotic lawnmowers.

This enables the implementation of an autonomous system capable of immediate judgment and action on-site without complex external computations.

Stiga has been leading the garden maintenance equipment market based on its long-standing mechanical design capabilities and user-centered design.

Recently, the company has been expanding its product lineup incorporating autonomous driving robot technology, simultaneously enhancing precision and reliability.

Physical AI is characterized by integrating sensors and computing functions inside the device, reducing reliance on the cloud and increasing real-time responsiveness.

Syma AI meets these requirements through low-power machine learning system-on-chip (MLSoC) and software stacks, enabling high-performance AI processing even on battery-based devices.

“The goal of this collaboration is to implement AI that works in the real world on edge devices,” said Krishna Rangasai, CEO of Sima AI. “We will introduce a platform that provides high-quality performance while reducing the burden of complex development.”

Stiga also stated that through this partnership, it intends to set a new standard for autonomous garden equipment.

Sean Robinson, CEO of Stiga, emphasized, “Intelligent cognition and decision-making are Stiga’s core competitive strengths,” adding, “By combining this with Syma AI’s technology, which can reliably implement these even in low-power environments, we are now able to introduce more efficient products.”
