Husqvarna Mows Lawn, Rule About U After Q
October 23rd, 2008
The Husqvarna Solar-Powered Robot Lawnmower is surely not the first robomower we’ve seen, but the fact that it’s covered in photovoltaic cells makes it pretty unique. The bot was announced at the Green Industry and Equipment Expo 2008. It weighs around 22 pounds and can mow half an acre, using a buried wire as a boundary. The Swedish bot is pretty safe too — if the Husqvarna is lifted the blades will automatically stop spinning. If only all robotic lawn mowers were this safe…remember that one that killed a guy last year? No release date or pricing available yet but laziness is not typically cheap, expect this to set you back about $2000. However, you could potentially make your own.
