\"\"iRobot<\/a>, the maker of Roomba robot vacuum cleaners, unveiled this week its robot lawn mower. It’s called Terra.<\/p>\n

\"\"While most autonomous lawn mowers require people to lay down wire to define their boundaries, the Terra only requires wireless beacons to be placed around the perimeter of a lawn \u2014 the idea being it\u2019s a simpler setup. Users will also have to drive the mower around their lawn once using an app to teach it where to go and where to avoid.<\/p>\n

The Terra has an hour of runtime and takes about two hours to charge fully. If it runs out of battery mid-route, it\u2019ll go back to its charger and pick up where it left off. It\u2019s completely weatherproof and is designed to live outdoors.<\/p>\n
