SiMa.ai Technologies and STIGA a leading European manufacturer of garden machinery, have announced a strategic partnership to integrate advanced Physical AI capabilities into STIGA’s robotic lawn mower range. The collaboration aims to introduce real-time decision-making powered by ultra-low-latency, energy-efficient computing, creating a scalable architecture for both residential and commercial robotic mowers.
STIGA has long been recognised for its engineering expertise and practical design, delivering products that combine precision, performance, and reliability. From traditional lawn mowers to autonomous robotic systems, the company has consistently focused on improving outdoor equipment through innovation. By incorporating Physical AI, STIGA plans to make its robotic mowers smarter and more responsive to real-world conditions.
Physical AI embeds intelligence directly into machines, enabling them to perceive their surroundings, make decisions, and act without constant human input. SiMa.ai’s machine-learning system-on-chip technology is designed to run complex AI workloads with minimal power consumption, an important factor for battery-operated consumer products. The partnership will allow STIGA’s robots to process information locally and respond instantly, improving efficiency, safety, and adaptability.
Krishna Rangasayee, founder and CEO of SiMa.ai, said the collaboration highlights the growing importance of AI at the edge. He noted that combining SiMa.ai’s hardware and software with STIGA’s product expertise can simplify deployment of intelligent automation and deliver dependable performance without increased power demands.
Sean Robinson, CEO of STIGA SpA, said innovation is central to the company’s strategy. He added that integrating Physical AI will raise the performance of robotic lawn mowers by improving how machines sense, decide, and operate while maintaining low energy use. The partnership, he said, demonstrates how collaboration between specialised technology and manufacturing leaders can deliver more capable, efficient equipment for customers.
SiMa.ai develops edge AI computing platforms for robotics, smart vision, and autonomous systems. Its Modalix platform provides high-performance AI processing with strong energy efficiency. The company is headquartered in San Jose, California.
The STIGA Group is one of Europe’s major producers and distributors of garden machinery, with more than 90 years of industry experience. The group includes brands such as Alpina, Mountfield, Castelgarden, and Atco, and sells over one million machines annually in 87 countries. With production sites in Italy, Slovakia, and China, and sales offices across Europe, STIGA continues to expand its global presence in outdoor equipment technology.
