Robotic lawn mower

I got, I got one for you.

Robotics You take the technology from the RoboVac- Mm-hmm ... or the RoboMower.

Yep.

They have robot lawnmowers.

It planted slower, which you typically do a lot nicer job.

You could have heard a pin drop in that meeting when he was talking because suddenly we all, you know, we look, we're familiar with the robot mowers, right? And you realize that this robot never stops.

And that John Deere tractor, it just never stopped.

And had a cab on it and he would jump in it.

Um, as it was then, it was, like I said, a, a battery powered, uh, sorry, a, an electric power tool brand.

But, uh, when it was acquired by Pozitech, they decided to repurpose the brand into a battery commercial OPE brand and into, uh, robotic mowers, uh, for our industry.

Uh, from that point onwards, uh, the technology has obviously developed rapidly.

Um, you know, clearly the cyber, uh, pack batteries, the cyber system underpins all of our commercial battery offering out there.

Um-

Yeah.

Now you've mentioned them already, but I've been running robotic mowers for the last few years, over three years.

I think it might be getting closer to four years I've been running robotic mowers.

There's the debate about climate change.

There's the advent of AI and robotic mowers.

Um, there's legislation around chemical use.

There's definitely, uh, an increasing kind of thrust towards, um, sustainability and protecting our natural areas, and that's before we get into things like cost and labor shortages and all the rest of it.

The, the, um, the thing I wanted to just, just go back to is just the AI stuff you mentioned.

So you talked about, um, how AI is being used in terms of, uh, mapping and data collection and sensors out on courses, and there are loads and loads of apps available to greenkeepers nowadays that, that, um, monitor water levels and all the rest of it.

The thing that people see from an AI point of view are ro- robotic mowers.

That's what golfers see, isn't it? Um, how ...

What kind of lawnmower do you have?

It's a Robomower.

It

is.

Yeah.

So it's a lot of these like robot mowers.

You have a strip of like magnetic tape.

You bury it in the ground and that sets an outer boundary.

And I, I've said this on the last few and I have to do it.

The, the robot lawnmowers, um, they're getting good.

And, but, but here's my only thing.

I'm just, I'm in this weird spot of my kids are almost to the age where they can mow.

Like I, I got to bail my lawn and we've gotten all this rain, right? I could have had a robot doing it the whole time.

Yeah.

What's wrong with me? Well, anyways, I, meanwhile, Gavin and TJ and all the guys, Seth from hometech.fm, they all have robot lawnmowers.

What is wrong with us? We need to get on the ball.
