RoboMow
to the Rescue! A little Help for the Yard.
MAY-23-00
Product Category: House/Robotics
Who does not like it? That repetitive task of mowing the lawn
every week. At work you automated everything you had to do
more than twice - though the lawn is not a spreadsheet.
For the Gadgeteer who's in charge of certain chores around
the house or garden, here is the perfect "killer app".
It cuts the lawn. It automatically recognize and avoid obstacles.
Miniature electronic “brain” based on proprietary SharpScan™
technology. Bumper pneumatic sensors allow ROBOMOW™ to stop
if it should hit an obstacle. Tilt sensors stop the motor
when tilt angle exceeds 20 degrees.
Whisper-quiet operation lets you run it at any time - no more
noise, gasoline, oil or dirt, no more upset neighbors. Environment-friendly
mulching action-recycles lawn clippings and valuable nutrients.
The robot mows in straight lines to produce a striped, manicured
lawn.
A special tracking mode ensures that ROBOMOW™ trims the edges
of the lawn.

For "fun"
you could still use it in manual mode for easy and efficient
mowing. Powered with two 12 V batteries, just place a guide
wire round the edge of your lawn, and connect the wire to a
small generator. Press the green button on the perimeter switch;this
sends a smart electrical pulse through the wire, which signals
ROBOMOW's™ computer controlled guidance system. ROBOMOW™ is
easily moved from the garage to the lawn and back and the blade
stops automatically if ROBOMOW™ is tilted while in action.
