Cool Concept

While compiling information for an upcoming Ornamental Outlook New Products feature, I came across this eco-friendly concept mower from Husqvarna. Pretty slick looking, and silent to boot. Man, I'd like one of these.

Remote Control Mowing

A Roomba with teeth is the best way to describe the Automower from Husqvarna. The battery-operated, self-charging 260 ACX is touted for "semi-professional use" in public spaces that have low-noise requirements like hospitals, hotels, and office locations (Apparently no noise requirements around my office building. Our mow, blow, and go guys take no prisoners in our parking lot every Tuesday morning around 7:30 with every piece of equipment available cranked up to full song).

The Automower doesn't need any supervision. According to Husqvarna, if anything should happen during operation, this mowbot can send a text to your cell phone asking for help.

What will they think of next? I wonder if it is smart enough to avoid anything the dog may leave behind.
