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.

Robot insect builder TinyMinds, creates little robots that will either defend your home or maybe just collectively attack you one day. I don’t know which, but I know they are some cool robo creations. Whether its the flapping wings of the mosquito-bot Gonzo, or the wobbling of octopod legs on his Cthulhu, each of one of the little BugBots is unique. Each bug is made from a variety of found parts and components and they run entirely on solar power. TinyMinds’ robotic bugs range in price from about $60 to $80.
