| Abstract/Contents: | Focuses on the development of automated robotic lawn mowers, stating that "robot mowers are capable of mowing areas of up to 2.5 hectares." Discusses how the battery operated mowers work, and suggests that robotic mowers provide a quality cut. Briefly details trials conducted using robotic mowers, and reports that "there was very little difference between" the automatic and traditional cylinder mower. Concludes that "as with all mowers, it is important to maintain sharp blades and to keep the turf in good health by mowing at the optimum frequency." |
