July 15, 2008 by Geeks are Sexy | 8 comments
Yep, you read that right. A robotic sheep that will mow your lawn while you lie down in the sun sipping a delicious strawberry daiquiri. The sheep, named Mower, has been designed by Osman Khan, a visiting assistant professor at Carnegie Mellon’s, with Philip K. Dick’s “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep” in mind.
The robot features GPS navigation, obstacle avoidance sensors and lawn mowing teeth. It will move around your backyard on 6 little articulated legs, cutting grass wherever it steps. If you want to check him out, Mower is currently on display at the Robot 250 festival in Philadelphia, PA.

No, not really, but hey, who cares? The fact that it simply exists is cool enough. lol
Interesting idea, but it looks a huge marshmallow with a sheep’s head attached to it.Why does the sheep have two eye balls on one eye?LOL
I love the Aardman look of the sheep!
just to note that this is in Pittsburgh, not philly. its a matter of pride.
“I’ll call him Shorn!” This sheep looks so much like the ones from Wallace and Gromit!
It’s like Roomba – for your lawn!
new zealanders have had a robotic sheep for some time…it’s activities are however confined to lonely singles!
