Behind vacuuming, there is no other household job quite as suited for robots as mowing the lawns. Yet while robot vacuums are almost mainstream now, robot mowers still feel in their infancy.
I reviewed the Worx Landroid back in 2014, and while it was a positive start, there was a hell of a lot of work that needed to go into setting it up.
It required a wire installed around the perimeter of your yard, and if you had any bottleneck points, the mower wouldn’t go through. It also had a tendency to cut the boundary wire if you didn’t bury it.
But the Landroid Vision does away with the boundary wire, instead relying on a camera and intelligent software to give the mower a more versatile solution. It's an interesting alternative to the beacon approach of the Ecovacs Goat G1.
But while the progress over the past 10 years is remarkable, robot lawnmowers still aren’t as mature as robot vacuums. There’s still a long way to go before this becomes a set and forget garden tool.
