What you’ve been waiting for… the Bluetooth Robotic Lawnmower!
by Elizabeth Blair York | January 24th, 2008When Tyler and I were talking about the future of Bluetooth some months back, we had a good time imagining future applications of the technology. The Bluetooth Dog Walker/Pooper Scooper, the Bluetooth Mug Warmer, even the Bluetooth Calorie Counter (stick it in a Big Mac and out comes the awful truth…) were all some of the late-night ideas that took my fancy.
Something I don’t think EITHER of us even imagined is hitting the market at about $3200.
Yes, you guessed it. The Bluetooth robotic lawnmower!
I’m still deciding if this is for real, y’all. Sure, I can email my television and have it record American Idol on the fly but can we even compare that to something with the chopping power of your favorite chainsaw wandering about your yard unsupervised?
Operating on the same principles as those robotic vacuum cleaners, this little baby does come packed with some bleeding edge features:
Through Bluetooth, the homeowner can program which days of the week and what hours of the day the LawnBott needs to come out of its charging base and cut the grass. At the end of its work cycle, the LawnBott will go back to its charging station and take a nap while it recharges, ready to come out again for the next cycle.
It will be on sale at Kyodo America.

Definitely something I’ll get my aging parents in a couple of years, when the price has come down a bit. My guess is these will be as low as $1500 in two years.

As a leading US dealer for these mowers, I don’t see the price coming down that much. The value of the dollar being so low makes imported items more expensive. They will have a long 8-10 lifespan so you should be able to get your hands on a used one with a lot of life left in a few years. There won’t be many mind you because our experience has shown that the owners keep them unless they upgrade to a new model or move. I am planning to get one someday for my own parents but my 83 year old father still insists on mowing the lawn himself. I must say that he is blessed in that he still can. We put together some good info on it here (at least we like to think so).
