Bosch Introduces New Autonomous Robotic Lawnmower - IEEE Spectrum

Bosch Introduces New Autonomous Robotic Lawnmower - IEEE Spectrum

"We got a tip over the weekend that Bosch is introducing (or, has just introduced) what a press release (machine translated from Swedish) calls the "world's first intelligent robot lawn mower," the Bosch Indego. Well, we're not entirely sure about the world's first bit, but from what we can tell, there are definitely some features here that will make the Indego more intelligent than some of its competitors.
We should preface all of this by saying that we're relying on Google-translated press releases and websites, so it's entirely possible that some of these details aren't 100 percent correct, but it's what we've got for now.
As I'm sure you know, or at least, as the Bosch press release says, "the Swedish summer is short and should be fully utilized." The best way to go about doing this is to not spend all your time mowing the lawn, which is where the Indego comes on. It's a completely autonomous robotic lawnmower that, after you set it up, will happily behead up to 1,000 square meters of grass without any supervision whatsoever."
