Tech tools: Yarbo robot attends to garden tasks

Yarbo 3 in 1, €3,700

Robots are handy. Especially when they take over the tasks that you’d really rather not do. Take the Yarbo, for example. This intelligent robot is also hard-working. It’s modular and can take over most of the back garden tasks that you hate, covering everything from mowing the lawn to leaf blowing, or dealing with snow in the winter.

It uses RTX GPS for positioning instead of perimeter wire, so set up won’t require burying anything in the back garden, and its tracks are suitable for all terrains. That means less garden care equipment to deal with, and if we ever get another Beast from the East, you are well-prepared. Plus in the future the company is promising to bring more add-ons for Yarbo.

It is currently the subject of a successful Kickstarter campaign, blowing past its $50,000 goal to raise more than $2 million.
