A robot gardener will save people from the tedious of weeding

Roboredo we’ve seen — she knows how to plant, water and care for plants, pulling weeds and thus maintaining a garden or vegetable garden in order. But this invention are quite costly. At a price of several thousand dollars it will pay off in only five years — not the cheapest and practical purchase for a small parcel of land. The more water and plant independently, weeding is easier to trust the professionals, such as a robot Tertill.

Came up with robodown, whose name, incidentally, is consonant with the word “Turtle” (turtle), the company Franclin Robotics, fifteen years ago, who developed the robot vacuum cleaner Roomba. The gardener Tertill designed for round the clock monitoring of the beds, so its design is protected against ingress of dirt and dust, and the solar panel and battery make it almost completely Autonomous device. The four-wheel drive robot and can move on almost any surface.

He also has a special app that will help vacationers not only to navigate the weather, but also will tell about results of work of the robot, show its technical condition and issue the necessary recommendations. The application will allow to control the robot, its main functions will be displayed on the main screen.

The guy distinguishes useful plants from weeds in height, so it is better to put on a couple of times already weeded a flower bed, where he managed to ascend flowers, carrots or turnip. With shaky samachisa and assessing its size, the robot will simply cut him and move on — it uses a small “spit”, similar to those used by ordinary gardeners. It rotates at high speed, thus cutting off the weeds.

Useful robot proved to be very popular — despite the fact that by the end of the campaign on Kickstarter for two weeks, Tertill was able to gain two times more money than the developers asked for originally.

Unfortunately, this year all the fans of the robot will have to mess about in the garden yourself, because to sell it would begin in March 2018 at a price of about 300 $ with shipment.
