AT CES 2008 in Las Vegas, Kyodo America showcased the LawnBott, the wire-free LB1200 model and the Bluetooth enabled LB3500, robotic lawn mowers that run on electricity and use a flat blade to simultaneously cuts and mulches grass. The Lawnbott LB1200 can cut and trim grass for three to four hours on a single charge of the lithium-ion batteries. It can be programmed to cut daily, on a weekly schedule, or whenever you want.

No perimeter wires are needed as the LawnBott LB1200 has patented sensors that detect grass. When it approaches walkways and other non grass surfaces, it simply reverses direction. The LB 3500 can be programmed via Bluetooth and has a docking station and includes perimeter wire to create the lawn boundary. The LB1200 is priced at $1299 and the LB3500 is priced at $3249.
