    My guy, robot mowers have been around for some time now. The catch is you need to bury a guide wire around the perimeter of the area the mower is meant to cut. Or at least that was the case the last time I looked into getting one.

      There are some which are guided via gps now. However, i won’t trust them being so precise. For me/us burying a guide wire was the better solution. Some manufacturers even claim, that you dont have to burry the line cos it will be overgrown by grass after a short amount of time.

        GPS will only ever be accurate within 5 meters, which won’t cut it for small yards where even 1 meter over the line may send it down a hill or into the neighbors yard
