What the tests say
The Anthbot M series transitions to ultra-compact chassis with standard 4G connectivity. The lineup splits into two approaches: RTK + Dual Vision (M5 and M9) and PRO / LiDAR editions (M5 LiDAR, M5 PRO, M9 PRO) featuring a 360° scanner to eliminate satellite dependency under heavy tree canopy. Early feedback praises the agile design and aggressive pricing with included 4G.
