BOSTON, July 9, 2025 – Imagine a robotic lawn mower that goes beyond basic trimming to handle all sorts of custom tasks around your yard. As of today, July 9, 2025, Segway Navimow is taking a big step forward in smart outdoor tech by granting API access to the expansion port on its top-rated X3 Series mowers. This opens the door for developers and hands-on hobbyists to design and add their own unique attachments and capabilities.

The X3 Series, which hit the market earlier this year, targets homeowners looking for smart, flexible solutions in yard maintenance. It stands out with easy setup using RTK, vision-based systems, and visual inertial odometry for spot-on navigation, plus smart ways to dodge hurdles and cover ground efficiently. Right from the start, the series included a built-in expansion bay to support future upgrades—and now, that potential is ready for anyone to tap into.

"Here at Segway Navimow, we're all about listening to our users and letting them shape the future," shared George Ren, CEO of Segway Navimow. "Opening up API access puts the power in the hands of our community to explore and expand what a robotic mower can really do."

The goal is to kick off a surge of homegrown innovations in lawn and garden gadgets. To get the ball rolling, Segway Navimow has tossed out some fun starting points for creators: think of an add-on that zaps mosquitoes to keep evenings bug-free, a device that tosses balls for your dog during mowing breaks, or a setup that blows bubbles to amp up a family gathering outdoors. These are only scratching the surface of what's possible.

How It Works

Anyone eager to dive in can request developer credentials right in the Navimow app. After getting the green light and signing the terms, you'll get full API guides to connect fresh features through the X3's expansion port. The series was engineered from day one for this kind of plug-and-play growth, with the right hardware connections and onboard smarts to support outside additions. It's a clear sign of Segway Navimow's dedication to building a lawn care system that's as adaptable as it is user-friendly, appealing to everyday families, inventive makers, and gadget lovers alike.

Unleash the Possibilities

API access is now live, and Segway Navimow is encouraging everyone in its user base to dream big and experiment. Later this year, the company will spotlight standout user creations, so if you're picturing a synchronized light display for your plants or a fetch-playing mode for the mower itself, this is your chance to make it happen.
