You could solve this with machines and just electricity, but sheep seem smarter.

If those electric mowers refueled as they mowed then we’d really have something.

The electric robot ones basically do, in the sense that they go and charge when needed and then return to cutting the area until it’s done.

The main problem with mowers is that they can’t get around equipment very well, so there ends up being labor intensive trimming that needs to be done

Perhaps we could develop intelligent mowers which could be fueled by the biomass of the grass clippings. We could call them “Smart Harvesters for Efficient Environmental Pruning” or S.H.E.E.P., for short :)
