Usually, when it comes to robotics, Honda is always focused on improving Asimo. However, this time it's a whole new kind of robot. "Miimo" is what they call it, and it's pretty high tech when you compare it to other robotic lawn mowers. For example, it cuts grass 2-3 mm at a time, multiple times a week to ensure your lawn is looking better than your neighbors. It uses a wide variety of sensors to get the job done right. To know that's it's mowing the right area, it stays within the borders of wire installed under ground. Safety is also important, so Honda threw in two lift sensors which when activated, shuts down the robot completely. To be activated again, a PIN code is required. That feature is also good for dealing with theft.
Charging is simple too. Miimo is always checking it's battery levels, and when they are low, it returns back to the charging dock. All in all, this new robot seems pretty neat, and if you hate mowing your lawn, then you may want to consider getting this robot. Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed today's post.
