A 3D printable robotic lawnmower knocks one chore off your to-do list.
Heading into spring, you’re probably thinking about sunshine, vacations and… having to cut your grass again. Even my normally brownish-hued Los Angeles lawn is looking green and a little overgrown already.
On top of the burden, with lawnmowers accounting formany accidentseach year (including pediatric emergencies and unnecessary amputations), wouldn’t it be nice to keep your distance and let a robot do the mowing for you?
Andreas Haeuser资深航天工程师在德国aerospace industry, has designed a 3D printable robotic lawnmower that functions much the way a Roomba does indoors (see video of the robothere)。你可以吧te your very own Ardumower if you have access to a 3D printer, some electronics and the instruction manual on his site. Haeuser has created two other printable, environmentally friendly designs: a wind turbine and a solar-powered Stirling engine.
If the Ardumower doesn’t sound like your type of weekend project, there are robotic lawnmowers such as theRobomowavailable on the market that will go up slopes, work with with apps, and put themselves away when they sense rain.
