Main idea of the article:
Unlike other countries, the United States is leaps and bounds behind other countries
when it comes to robot lawnmowers. The idea is that the lawnmower will run for 48
hours on its first go around, carefully staying within the box of the buried wires
placed around the perimeter of the mowing area. After those first 48 hours, the
mower will carefully trim the grass each day to help your yard look much like a golf
course putting green. Eventually the robot will even be able to be controlled via
smartphones, and other devices.
Information presented: List at least five points made by the author
1. The mower can work even if it is raining.
2. You are able to monitor it via your smartphone, eventually leading the users to be
able to control the mower via Alexa.
3. The Husqvarna 315x, which covers up to .4 acres, costs $2,000.
4. The robot is very quiet, and it means that you are able to enjoy your weekends
without hearing the sound of a lawnmower running.
5. It takes 60 minutes to charge the mower to capacity.
