iRobot, the creators of the revolutionary Roomba autonomous vacuum robot and Braava autonomous mopping robot, has just unveiled another robot to add to the family: the iRobot Terra Mower.

This new autonomous lawn mower will implement iRobot’s current Imprint Smart Mapping technology for the first time outdoors. Which means that now this robot will be able to mow the lawn without the need of having to install boundary wires (eliminating the chance of leaving damage to a perfect lawn) to keep the lawn mower from exploring your neighbor’s lawn.

With the Imprint Smart Mapping technology, the Terra Mower will be able to learn the layout of the lawn. It will know where it is at any given time and cut in straight, clean lines, leaving the lawn cut perfectly every cycle.

So far the Terra Lawn Mower will only be available for sale to those who live in Germany. But no fear, there will be a beta program for select individuals in the US in 2019.

These robots will be very helpful for those unable to cut their lawn because of living a busy lifestyle or it will also come in handy for those who lack the ability to cut their lawn because of a physical disability. I believe this machine will inspire manufacturers to design other robots like this one which will re-imagine the way we live our lives because these robots can complete the tasks we previously had to do ourselves, for us.
