Outdoor robotics brand GOKO is showcasing the M6 robotic lawn mower and previewing the X5 commercial yard robot at the Lawn & Land Equip Expo 2026 on the Gold Coast. The M6, now available for pre-order in Australia, uses 4WD and AI-powered navigation to manage large, steep, and complex terrains without boundary wires.
The GOKO M6 arrives as a targeted solution for property owners facing the specific failures of conventional robotic mowers: steep inclines, muddy patches, and the tedious installation of physical perimeter wires. By combining four-wheel drive with a fusion-navigation system, the M6 aims to automate the maintenance of large yards that were previously too challenging for consumer robotics.
M6 Engineering: 4WD and Slope Capability
The core of the M6’s mobility is a 4WD system and adaptive suspension. This setup allows the machine to handle inclines up to 90 per cent, or 42 degrees, while traversing obstacles up to 7.5 centimeters. Unlike many robotic mowers that turn by dragging one side of the chassis, the M6 employs active front-wheel steering. This design reduces turf stress and allows for tighter, more precise maneuvers.
To prevent the machine from stalling on rough ground, GOKO integrated large-diameter tires and an intelligent self-recovery algorithm. These features are designed to maintain traction through exposed roots and mud, ensuring the mower can free itself if it becomes stuck.
CyberNav Fusion and AI Obstacle Avoidance
Navigation is managed via the CyberNav fusion system. To avoid the signal drops common in tree-lined areas or near buildings, the system combines RTK positioning, VSLAM visual navigation, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), and wheel odometry. This redundancy allows the mower to maintain a stable path even when satellite signals are blocked.
The mower’s awareness is driven by the QuadVision system, which utilizes four AI-powered cameras. This system can recognize more than 200 types of objects, including pets, toys, and garden furniture. Side-mounted cameras specifically assist with edge mowing and navigating narrow passages.
Cutting Performance and Battery Options
The M6 features a 42-centimeter cutting width powered by two 250W motors. Users can choose between two blade formats depending on the grass condition: razor-disc blades for quiet, routine maintenance and rotary mulching blades for taller or heavier growth. The floating deck allows for adjustable cutting heights ranging from 25mm to 100mm.
- Single-battery version: Covers up to half an acre per charge.
- Dual-battery version: Covers up to one acre per charge.
All settings—including stripe direction and no-go zones—are managed via the GOKO app.
Australian Pre-Orders and Pricing
GOKO has opened Australian pre-orders with early-bird promotional pricing. The dual-battery model is available for A$4,299, down from A$6,499. Shipping is expected to begin in batches, with the first group departing in October and the remainder in November.
The M6’s market entry follows a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised more than US$1 million, as well as recognition from the Red Dot Award and a Gold Award at the French Design Awards.
The X5 Concept and Future Directions
While the M6 is the current commercial focus, GOKO is using the LLEE 2026 event to preview the X5. The X5 is not yet a launched product but is being presented as a modular, remote-controlled commercial robot. Its primary goal is versatility, combining three distinct functions: mowing, snow blowing, and towing.
This feedback loop is critical for the X5’s development, as GOKO intends for the platform to be configurable for contractors and property operators who need one machine to handle multiple seasonal tasks.
The transition from the M6’s consumer-facing automation to the X5’s modular commercial utility suggests GOKO is attempting to bridge the gap between residential convenience and industrial-grade property maintenance. By leveraging the trust built through the M6’s specialized hardware—specifically its 4WD and positioning systems—the company is positioning itself to move from simple lawn care into broader, multi-functional outdoor robotics.
