FJD Vela LiDAR Robotic Lawn Mower — 1 Acre Per Day

A full acre, no wire, no RTK base station. LiDAR does the navigating.

The FJD Vela is FJD's newest residential robotic mower. It builds a 3D map of your yard with LiDAR, uses its camera to tell lawn from everything else, and plans its own mowing routes — so there is no perimeter wire to bury and no RTK antenna to mount. Under mature trees and close to the house, where satellite-guided mowers lose signal, the Vela keeps working.

WALLE Corp. is an authorized FJD dealer. We ship this unit anywhere in Canada, and we service the Greater Toronto Area and the Golden Horseshoe directly — Burlington, Oakville, Milton, Hamilton, Mississauga, Halton Hills, Waterdown, Dundas, Ancaster, Stoney Creek and Grimsby.

Professional installation is available as an add-on for properties in our service area — mapping, zone and no-go setup, and a full walkthrough. Ask us when you order. Installation is included as standard only on our commercial line.

Key specs

How it works

Walk the Vela around your yard once in the FJD Landscaping app to set work zones and no-go zones. From then on it maps in 3D with LiDAR, recognises grass versus driveways, flowerbeds, shrubs and play equipment with its camera, and plans clean parallel routes on its own. Front, back and side yards can each be managed as separate zones from the app.

Schedule it and leave it. A built-in rain sensor pauses or skips mowing when it rains, and it returns to charge automatically. Lift and collision sensors stop the blades if it is picked up or bumps something. Fine clippings stay on the lawn as mulch.

Maintenance is simple: the cutting deck comes off to swap blades, the blades retract on impact with rocks and twigs, and IPX5 means you can rinse it with a garden hose.

Slope note: the Vela climbs 65% (33°) but mows to 47% (25°). The mowing figure is the one that governs where it can actually cut. On slopes, routes should run up and down rather than across — FJD advises against cross-slope mowing. Wheel spikes ship in the box for wet grass and inclines.

Right for you if…

Your lawn is up to an acre, you have trees, buildings or tight side yards that cause trouble for RTK mowers, and you want the simplest setup in FJD's lineup. For smaller, open lawns the FV2000 is the lower-cost RTK option; for a fully open acre where you want RTK precision with vision backup, look at the FR4000.
