Any of you internet weirdos ever mess with gardening automation? I really want to get into growing my own food, and it would give me an excuse to nerd out and set up sensors and programs to automate a lot of it.

I automated 90% of my gardening with this one weird trick… !!

On a serious note, this experience dramatically changed my understanding of robot labour and how people will adapt (people will get used to it very quickly).

Robots don’t need to be sentient or super intelligent, I actually doubt that will be popular because it will feel like a privacy invasion.

I've heard about the robot lawnmower but never seen it in action. How does it hold up??

I was expecting something noisy that had to be setup every Saturday and nursed to the finish line.

Nope.

90 minutes one time setup, plus three 5 minute interventions in week 1 to adjust my rookie setup after spotting it stuck.

Now it silently cuts my grass between 1am and 4am every night and I have 35mm lawns 24/7.
