After seventeen years of developing Roomba robotic vacuum cleaners, the company iRobot decided to apply the acquired knowledge to its first robotic lawnmower, iRobot Terra.
The advantage of a robotic lawnmower iRobot Terra it is systematic moving along parallel paths, just like we mow and not randomly "flying" here and there, without the mower knowing its exact position at any given moment.
iRobot Terra, as the best Roomba, in memory they design and maintain the map, so there is no need to limit the mowing area with a buried electrical conductor (wire) as with other robotic lawnmowers. Place the "garden" in the corners wireless signal transmitters, which help the robot in its orientation and because it always knows where it is and where it has already mowed, it can returns to the charging station, to charge the batteries and continue the work later. The mower does not have a grass basket, the blades do the plants are chopped and turned into green manure. The Terra will initially be available only in Germany at an as yet unknown price.
