I really like the software & systems aspects of this, but I don't understand how homeowners are making the hardware work in non-ideal situations.

It would have to be constantly mowing my lawn in Texas or it would be at risk of trapping itself in a jungle. There is no way a robot mower could deal with 10+ days of growth in the summer. I can stall a 7hp+ 22" mower at practically any speed if I try to cut a full width strip in these conditions.



Yes that is exactly it. It mows every day or a couple days. The blades on these look about razor blade size. If you don’t mow for a week you would need to hit it with a real mower.


Like auto-vacuums changed user-habits from vacuuming one a week to running the machine daily, so too will auto-lawn mowers.


It _is_ supposed to run constantly.
