Here is the github: github.com/ClemensElflein/OpenMower
Been following them for a bit, was going to build one a few years back, but instead bought a riding mower to pull double duty on teaching my daughter driving skiils
That’s pretty interesting. I remember when ‘robotic mowers’ became a buzz word way back when. They just never seemed to really take off on a mass consumer level or maybe I just haven’t noticed. Now something like a DeepKron would interest me.
I have own, it’s been running for like 5 years now and I have never mowed my lawn manually more than one per year.
Overall it’s not zero work and maintenance, you still need to do stuff. But like 1/10th of how much time and effort it took before

My problem with them was they never seemed to be able to handle a yard large enough in order to justify their price.
Mine is 600sqm (squared meters) and my robot clear it just fine
Sometimes, I envy you guys with your smaller lawns. I’ve got about 4 acres of ‘lawn’ which is partially taken up with a large set of raised vegetable gardens, goat and chicken pens, A couple acres to raise a few head of cattle on, then scrub brush and woods, and then 15 acres of farmland.

Mine is 8100. Everything I was looking at, at that time, could only handle half at best.

There’s a lot more options now. A family member got one like a year ago and loves it.
