Worx
Positec’s consumer tool brand includes Landroid mowers with several different ways of finding their way around a lawn.1345
Worx is a consumer brand of Positec Group, the lawn, garden and power-tool manufacturer. Its robot mowers carry the Landroid name. The range spans boundary-wire machines, camera-guided Vision models and the newer Vision Cloud generation, so the installation you want is a useful way to begin comparing them.1345

Don Gao founded Positec in 1994. The group identifies Suzhou, China, as its base and Charlotte, North Carolina, as its North American headquarters. These are the origins and locations of the manufacturer behind Worx, rather than a separate Worx corporation.1
Positec’s corporate history dates Worx’s entry into overseas markets to 2004. A decade separates that milestone from the parent’s formation. The distinction helps explain the brand’s place within an established equipment business, with lawn, garden and power tools alongside its robot mowers.12
Landroid has developed along several paths. The US WR155 uses an installed boundary wire; the WR208 Vision description centers on a camera recognizing grass. In January 2026, Worx announced Vision Cloud, adding RTK Cloud positioning to its vision approach. The release also distinguishes a 4WD version and security features that vary by model or accessory.345

Choose a complete Landroid model, not just the family name. The difference between wire, camera recognition and cloud-assisted positioning affects setup, boundaries and the questions to ask about connectivity.345
Landroid L WR155, US
Worx’s North American support material identifies WR155 as a half-acre mower and explains how to diagnose a cut boundary wire. It offers a concrete starting point for someone who already has, or is prepared to install, a wired lawn boundary.3
Landroid Vision WR208, US
The US manufacturer listing describes WR208 as a one-fifth-acre Vision mower using a camera to recognize grass without a perimeter-wire installation. Compare that specific version and its boundary requirements; a shared Landroid name does not establish the same setup for WR155.34
Landroid Vision Cloud
The January 2026 announcement combines Vision AI with RTK Cloud positioning and describes operation without a local antenna. Vision Cloud 4WD is a separately identified version, and anti-theft features are standard on some models and optional on others. The announcement is the starting point for identifying a local model and package.5
Plan the work around your garden
Picture the lawn edge beside a paved path, an open neighboring garden and a temporary flower bed. Ask how the offered model recognizes each transition and where wire, markers or network access are required. Those answers help estimate the installation work and how easily you can rearrange the garden later.345
Common branding does not settle whether a particular tool battery fits a mower or whether the same dealer repairs both. Have the seller identify the battery, charging equipment, regional warranty and repair destination for the complete package. A model-specific quote is more useful than a family-wide price range.13
What would a normal mowing week require?
Which installation are you willing to maintain as the garden changes? Walk the boundary with the seller’s description in hand, then ask what happens when the mower loses its route or connectivity. Match the answer to the exact model and accessories before choosing a promotion.345
