Robotic Lawnmower Takes the Work Out of Mowing the Lawn
We’ve mentioned the Roomba robotic vacuum before, but how about a robotic lawn mower to cut your grass for you? The RoboMower was designed for just that purpose. It isn’t the most efficient thing out there (it works much like a pool vacuum, going in a straight line until it bumps into a birdbath, deck, or the wire you put around your yard to contain it), but given enough time, it will whack your grass down to the desired length.
There are a few different models of the RoboMower put out by Friendly Robotics, a company that was founded by two former Israeli fighter pilots, one an engineer with an interest in robotics, another a businessman. They’ve been selling Robomowers since 1994, and you can find them today in two dozen different companies (no matter what our differences from nation to nation, it looks like no one wants to mow their own grass).

Sweet. I gotta get something like this. Does anyone out there actually have a robot lawn mower? How well does it work? Does it do the whole yard on one charge or do you have to plug it in in the middle? What brands are best?
