agreed, I think monitoring wear and tear on something like this and reporting back is very important. after a week, a few months, and definitely after a year. it'll be interesting to see how it performs in different seasons as well. I would also love to see how it holds up in more tropical climates like Florida where the grass can easily outgrow those height limits in just a few days during the peak summer months.

​@@Speedj2 benefit of the robot mower is that it can run as often as you'd like. So rather than cutting the whole growth every week, it can run every other day... I wonder if the app can use the weather to decide if it should mow, e.g. just to avoid mowing while it's raining or wet.

I have one (Husqvarna), had it for 9 years now covering 32'000 sq ft, best purchase I've ever made. This thing is a bit odd though, for example the grass collector is actually a bad thing, you want the fine cut grass to stay in your lawn as fertilizer and since the robots cut the grass way more often than you would do with a manual one you don't notice any grass residues.

The warranty is 4, so I'd guess that's about how long it will last before a control board or battery goes out, and the replacement parts costs half the price of the unit (assuming they haven't discontinued this model by then or even bother offering spare parts outside a battery or blades). Yes, I've been burned many times due to excessive optimism about this type of (usually disposable) gizmo.

Automower owner here. This is not decades old. They have RTK GPS just like what EPOS is, then LiDAR sensor which Husqvarna lacks (the new NERA line have some radar). The Automower 550 EPOS peeked out of the design studio to tests in 2020. Ceora is built for bigger lawn areas, it cannot be used in a back garden like this. I would say this mower is a bit jerky compared to Husqvarna. Moves very fast (how much does the disc spinn?) and knocks over things.

Mammotion's is much better, AWD, handles much higher slopes and bumps, and looks like a F1 car. Depending on the size of the yard it isn't too bad. I got mine on sale for $1700.

That gps antenna reminds me of something that we currently use on modern aircraft for instrument flying called Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) which uses ground stations at a known location to apply a correction factor to nearby aircraft. It allows scary good accuracy without having to upgrade the current satellites (but did lead to a few more being put in geosynchronous orbit).

Yeah, I'm almost sure they're just using differential GPS. If base station has it's own GPS, by being (within reason) a fixed point in space, you can then hash some math on both GPS signals to get a distance vector between the mobile GPS and the base station that's SURPRISINGLY accurate, as they said, to within 2cm of the actual distance between them, and that's with bog standard commercial GPS receivers and being set up by a regular dude without any thought put into it. I studied geodesy as part of my degree, and it's really amazing what you can do with GPS if you're willing to be smart about it. If you have geodetic pillars with extremely accurate positions (every country has a grid of them, but they're EXPENSIVE to get positional data that accurate from scratch), differential lets you transfer that highly accurate position to almost any other point you need to as long as you can see the same satellites (read: you can be dozens of miles away) incredibly easily, with relatively cheap gear, and very quickly. You can even strap your mobile receiver on a Jeep and do positional grids in 3D nearly anywhere. To show us how good differential with scientific or military grade receivers and proper setup can be, our professor told us to take a receiver/antenna combo on a pole, and stick it in the ground at some exact location. Except we couldn't, because when we went to stick the tip of the pole into the ground, we hit a coin underneath the grass.

The EcoFlow BLADE knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is - whichever is greater - it obtains a difference or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviation to generate corrective commands to drive the EcoFlow BLADE from a position where it is to a position where it isn't, and arriving at a position that it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is is now the position that it wasn't, and if follows that the position that it was is now the position that it isn't.

The little razors aren't more common because they're not suitable for your average lawn mower and Linus didn't follow the instructions. Normally when a human mows the lawn, they have to cut more growth since there are several days of growth between mowings. That heavier duty work requires thicker blades. These robotic lawn mowers aren't meant for cutting lawns down to a desired height. They're meant to maintain a lawn to a desired height by operating every day. Since it runs every day, the blades are only trimming very small amounts from the grass. Such small trims are suitable for small razor blades.

From GIS and GPS mapping I have learned a few things you should know about the satellite signals. First, you need at least a minimum number 3 satellites for figuring out your location on the planet, 4 if you want altitude. Second, water blocks the signal, so the foliage on your trees acts as a wall blocking satellites low to the horizon (so in a forest is bad during the warm season, good during the cold season (assuming your in a forest where trees lose their leaves)). Third, buildings and other structures can create signal reflections causing the GPS receiver to have trouble getting a clear signal. You are far enough north that almost all GPS and most GLONSS (if your mower uses them) are going to be south, east, and west. So make sure its on the south side of the house and elevated as high as possible. If you have a handheld GPS unit, some will show you exactly how many and which GPS satellites you can see at any time.

I also miss the all around bump guard because this makes it way safer for kids and wildlife like hedgehogs. My robot has been working flawlessly for whole seasons without intervention or cleaning and would recommend it (i dont have experience with an other brand). It also has those razerblade style blades which prevents pinecones to stick to the baldes and adds up to an extra safety for human feet.

Robot is a lot smaller and compact and way less noisy than this one. Plus it keeps the clippings on the lawn - which is healthy for the grass. I honestly can't figure out what the big deal is with this one. The features this automower has is not special when it comes to other automowers. I don't understand who this is meant for - it looks like the mower is designed for landscaping on vast land (10k+ sq feet) yet the manual mapping is only convenient for small backyards. It's so weird. All im seeing is an unnecessarily yoked up automower with nothing to show for it.

The lawn will greatly improve with a robot doing daily runs. Perhaps just not this robot necessary. Doing daily runs means the clippings are so small that they dont cause any trouble. However like in this video the first run on a tall lawn i would remove the clippings as to not suffocate the lawn. The setup with wire is a hassle but done only once. But as seen in this video the tech has improved so wire is not necessary any more. It is nice to have a robot, once in place there wont be any tracks or such since it does it daily so any differences can hardly if at all be seen. Buy one, just not most expensive one perhaps lol.

In temperate climate, where I live, I have to mow the lawn after every 7 days max. And I use a ride on lawn mower. The grass is just so thick and juicy. If I mow it after a 2 week period it will end up looking bad squashing it down or leaving clumps. Lawn robots are really popular here just for that reason. They go around the yard ever day to cover the whole area over the span of a few days. The robots don't cut the grass just one day a week, it's nonstop. They are very expensive though. Usual quality stuff like Husqvarna go for about 3K. That's 2 months salary for an average income person, including me. So I guess I'll be doing the mowing for the foreseeable future at least.

No chance I'd buy that for 2900, hopefully things like this improve because it sure would be awesome to automate chores like this.

Robot mowers have been on the market for almost 30 years now, they are better and cheaper than this :D Cheap ones start around $700 and good ones (better than this based on this video) are around $1500. $3000 is the top of the line models that have stuff like solarpanels, can cut acres of land etc.

@@stevexracer4309 The bigger problem with something like this for the price tag is that the size and manner of yard you need for this thing to be effective at doing its job is going to be very small and very simple. You can't honestly tell me that someone with a yard of the size and complexity this thing would be adequate for can't find the time 4 times a month to cut that grass. It takes me about 2 hours to cut mine each time (not counting limb pickup and then trimming) to mow my yard with a riding mower and a 48" (that's almost 5 times bigger than the deck this thing has) deck. So if I can find the time find the time to deal with mine then someone with a yard as small as this thing would need should be able to.

Automatic grass cutters are very common in Sweden, but have never seen one with a sweeper, nor without some kind of edge line and definitely not anyone with crazy wheels like this one!

In Switzerland too. This thing seems a bit useless tbh. You don't need to sweep when the mower is out every 2nd day. Huge base station + GPS antenna seem much more of a disadvantage compared to the usual guide wire

Really nice to see more non pc /gaming tech on the channel. One of the things that would concern me with this particular product would be its power consumption. If you've got to basically run it daily then that seems like it would add up and be pretty costly rather quickly if you haven't got your own renewable energy

@@hallymiao2825 Honestly I suspect the people that are actually buying these wouldn't be too fussed about the cost. It also scales rapidly to lawn size. How large is your lawn? Once you get up to 3000sqm I get the feeling that it would start to be more cost effective over time vs paying someone to do the whole lawn. Then you're just getting someone to come through every now and then to clean up edges, etc.

It seems like it would be great for a perfectly level very square yard with no trees to drop branches, but it couldn’t even handle that super tiny stick. So the amount of people that this would be really good for I feel like is pretty niche.
