The Robby Garden XP is a robot lawn mower that has a number of advanced features. Those features include the ability to sense where the edge of your lawn is without having to configure or install a virtual perimeter fence.
The sensing isn't perfect mind you as reports say that an actual distinction between grass and soil or stone is needed for example.
The robot lawn mower also has the ability to shred the trimmed grass when it automatically moves around your garden and out of that grass, creates fertilizer to help improve your lawn. [click to continue…]

Over on Techdigest I came across an interesting post about sheds. Now sheds are not the most gadgety of items that people own... most just store lawn mowers and tools in them. Over on a site named Readers Sheds they like to push the boundaries that little bit further. One of the best sheds I came across was the TARDIS shed (from Dr. Who) which there happens to be a plethora of them dotted around the UK. [click to continue…]
If you love automating tasks in your house such as cleaning the carpets with a Roomba robot vacuum then this solar powered robot lawn mower is definitely a must-have. This 'sci-fi' looking gadget can cut up to approximately 2300 square meters of grass automatically (you'll also be able to program how much lawn there is to cut) and being able to programme a schedule into the mower will mean you won't have to be around as it activates itself and works away whenever you like.
The robot mower uses a form of hybrid power to keep it's batteries charged, in that both electricity from the wall and solar energy from the sun will keep the batteries charged each day ready for it's next run around the lawn. Each charge though will see the robot mower through about 40 minutes of grass cutting (so this won't really be used for any of you who have a stadium for a yard). Then at the end of its run, the robot automatically docks back onto it's charger ready for the next cycle. So with no emissions, virtually no noise and seeing as its powered by the sun, this little mower will put smiles on those who are more 'green' focused. [click to continue…]
