Robot Lawnmowers (lemmy.world)

Does anyone have much experience with robot lawnmowers? I've been considering one, but trying to find info now involves digging through a lot of AI slop.

Id prefer one that plays nicely with HA, as well as not internet dependant. It's also for a small garden (50m²).

The best bet I've seen so far is to modify a yardforce mower with open mower. What other (good) options are there?

My neighbor has one. It seems to do a decent job cutting the grass and hasn't mulched their dog yet.

Unless the dog is the size of a literal rat (even those pocket-sized chihuahuas are too tall), the mower is completely unable to harm it beyond gently bumping it to it.
