Terra follows in the footsteps of its cousins and uses the same navigation and mapping systems. It mows without human intervention, maps the covered area and automatically returns to its base. Terra can also recharge and resume work from where it left off.
Unlike other automated mowing systems that require owners to install wires around their yard, iRobot has developed a solution that uses wireless beacons located around the lawn to help Terra recognize the boundaries of their working space. Thanks to the latest fingerprint mapping technology, also introduced on the newest Roomba model, the lawn mower will create a lawn map on which you can identify areas that you do not need to mow, such as flower beds.
Terra is waterproof and protected from dirt, it can be controlled using the Home application, where the mowing schedule and grass height can be adjusted.
iRobot reports that this year the Terra Robot Mower model will be available for sale in Germany and via a beta program in the US, without specifying the price and the exact start of sales.
