Thanks.
Robotic mowers operate very differently than a human powered
mower.? People typically mow their lawn once a week during the
summer.? This gives the lawn plenty of time to grow so you have to
deal in some way with the clippings.? You might have a mulching
mower that is designed to cut the clippings up very fine so they
become fertilizer for the lawn or your mower collects the
clippings in a bag.?
Robotic mowers are designed to be run much more often, even
daily.? In this way the grass has only grown a short amount and
the clippings are very short.? This allows the mower to operate as
a mulching mower so the clippings become fertilizer for the lawn.
I'm not sure how the Navimow deals with the kinds of obstacles
you mention.? However, I am doing a second article on the mower's
performance because I live in the mountains and it has still been
too cold for my grass to really have started growing yet.? I'll
make sure I include some obstacle avoidance tests.
Thanks again

Interesting product I wish this had been around many decades years
ago when I was sent out to mow my family's yards with a push
mower! What about the lawn clippings? Unless this thing grinds up
the cuttings to a fine dust, the first strong winds will deposit
cut grass everywhere. Also thinking back on that time, I would
encounter obstacles such as dog poop, dead birds, tree branches,
etc. Maybe dog exhaust is no longer much of a problem now with
most dog owners responsibly bagging it but for the rest it seems
you still need to do a 'walk-through' of the property before
unleashing it. I'm glad the reviewer pointed out the cloud vs
local network issue; internet connectivity seems to be assumed on
many new products. If it can do 98% of the job, that's still a
great timesaver.?
