Robomowers are expensive, require a lot of effort to install and aren’t exactly the set-and-forget dream you expect. Or at least, they used to be: Now, Segway’s Navimow i105 uses GPS instead of a fiddly ground wire, removing a lot of the hassle of installation. It’s not perfect by any means, but it’s an easy way to turn a patch of ground into a manicured lawn without much effort on your part.
