The Honda Miimo Is A Robot Lawn Mower

The Honda Miimo lawnmower will keep your lawn perfectly trimmed and then find its way back to the charging dock when it’s done. All you have to do is run a thin wire around the area you want mowed and the Miimo will do the rest.

Several times a week, it will undock itself and proceed to clip precisely 0.8 to 0.11 millimeters (about 1/10th “) off the top of your grass. Instead of following the traditional up and back pattern, it does its mowing in a random pattern. Honda says the small amount of grass removed and the random cutting place less stress on grass, giving you a healthier lawn. It also allows the mower to turn the clippings into compost, eliminating the need to clean up afterwards. No more hauling grass clippings to a remote corner of the yard or worrying about making time to ensure your lawn doesn’t draw the ire of the local HOA.

Miimo has a 360 degree perimeter sensor that also ensures it won’t run into the kids or family pet. If it runs into something unexpected, it will automatically change course and head off in a new direction, and the low deck design makes it almost impossible to actually be hurt by this thing.

Now if we could only program it to bring us a cold beer while we recline in our favorite hammock!
