Solar Powered Robomower
By Chief Robot. Filed in Agriculture, Household, Robot News |
Husqvrana introduced at CES a new solar powered robotic lawnmower called Automower Solar Hybrid.
The mower can cover .65 acre at the rate of about 1000 sq feet per hour. It uses a brushless DC motor,18 v NiMH batteries and a 12W solar cell.
A guide wire needs to be installed around your lawn’s perimeter. Any object 6 inches high or taller does not need a guide wire as the mower will gently bump into it and then reverse and go around it.
Additional features include an anti theft lock, timer, and course-treaded wheels for uneven ground.
The robot recharges itself at the docking station as needed.
The MSRP or Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price is a hefty $ 2,999.95.
