He said the mower can be programmed when to mow, and it can detect rain in case its owner doesn’t want to mow in wet conditions. To define where it will mow, signal wires are buried in the ground around the perimeter of the yard. When it’s finished or needs a charge, it returns to its home base. The $1,499 automatic mower made in Germany was one of many interesting products and services on display at the show.
