Use the sun to mow your lawn, Roomba-style
Many of you, I am sure, like to get up early on the weekend so you can mow your lawn and then stand back and gaze at the beauty you have wrought by the sweat of your brow. The Automower™ from Husqvarna is not for you. No, this magnificent creature is for those of us who would rather use our free time playing Scrabble with the kids or trying to make sense out of last weeks episode of Lost. Like the Roomba that's wandering through your house, cleaning your floor and menacing your cat, the Automower™ is a functional robot that helps you save time and energy for the activities you enjoy.
Guided by a perimeter wire, this lawn widget finds its way across your grasslands , manicuring and mulching as it goes. No noise, no emissions, no sweat. Although supplemented by solar, if your yard is large enough, it may need to get some juice from its base station. But don't worry, it knows where it is and will take care of all that by itself.

Sounds like the Toro Imow with a solar panel.
Robotic lawn mowers have been around for quite a while. The Imow was one heck of a good product, but failed miserably. Apparently, there isn't much of a market for them.

I'd have more fun with a remote controled one, I'll probably turn my push mower into one eventually.
