From there, the system relies on a variety of on-board sensors, including lidar, cameras and GPS, to navigate and avoid collisions. Electric Sheep Robotics (ESR) provides robotics and machinery solutions to industries needing mechanized solutions. Hui Li is a principal research engineer in the Applied Research Lab in. Li has made a big impact in her short time at Autodesk. Something that cutting-edge requires a leader thats just as cutting-edge. Its about as cutting-edge as Autodesk gets. Once installed, users take the system through a standard mowing path once to train it. Project Electric Sheep combines virtual reality (VR) and machine learning (ML) with robots. Dexter, which hits general availability today, retrofits new and existing commercial mowers with autonomous capability.

Dick, et al.) approach to the space is a somewhat novel one, however - similar to what (John Deere-owned) Bear Flag Robotics is doing for tractors. Dexter attaches to new or existing lawn mowers to autonomously mow any type of grass. It also announced the general availability of its Dexter system that turns existing commercial lawn mowers, both gas and electric, into autonomous mowers.

For those with a lot of grass and far less time, there are still a number of robotic mowers out there, on both the commercial and consumer side of the aisle.Įlectric Sheep Robotics’s (yeah, yeah, Philip K. Electric Sheep Robotics, a developer of autonomous navigation technology for lawn mowers, 21.5 million in Series A funding. After making some tough internal decisions to delay launch back in 2020, the robot mower is still MIA. IRobot announced Terra three years ago this week.
