Improved 2003 Robomower Now Available at Friendly Robotics Dealers

April 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Friendly Robotics announced today that the latest Robomower, the RL800, is now available at specialty lawn-and-garden and lawnmower shops.

The fully automatic lawnmower includes several new and notable product enhancements for 2003, including next-generation navigation software, a user-controlled theft deterrent and disabling system, an improved user interface, and user-selectable mowing navigation/edge cutting modes.

"With a number of enhancements to the product, it's never been easier for people to experience how fun, safe and convenient automatic mowing can be," said Jeff Stewart, vice president sales and marketing, North America. "With each update, we strive to design a more efficient and user-friendly Robomower that will liberate people from routine chores and improve their quality of life. With these product enhancements for 2003, we move another step closer to this goal."

The new user-controlled theft deterrent and disabling system means fewer worries that the unit will be stolen. The new navigation software, the improved user interface, and the user selectable mowing navigation/edge cutting modes make the Robomower easier to use and more customizable for each specific lawn.

The Robomower RL800 offers features that cannot be found in walk-behind or gasoline-powered lawnmowers. Running on a high-energy rechargeable power pack, the environmentally friendly Robomower provides a 21" wide cut without the loud noise or gas fumes of conventional mowers. Robomower's blades mulch grass -- so there is no need to bag. Robomower is suitable for any lawn where a conventional, walk-behind mower would be appropriate.

Guided by an easy-to-install Perimeter Wire, Robomower uses an onboard computer with proprietary RoboScan technology, which enables it to systematically cover a lawn without any prior knowledge of the shape and obstacles in the yard. The 2003 Robomower also has user selectable mowing/navigation modes and edge cutting modes for customization to each lawn, improving efficiency.

The Friendly Robotics Robomower automatic lawn mower is available for $699.99. For the location of the nearest dealer, please call 1-888-404-7626 or check online at www.robomower.com .
