As more people outsource personal services to contractors, robotic lawn care equipment and software is being used to automate landscaping.

Lawn mowing can be physically demanding, there are labour shortages and business tends to be low margin but demand for such services is rising. Robotic lawnmowers can handle steep 45% slopes and cover up to 2 hectares. They are equipped with sensors to avoid knocking into fences, tree stumps and other obstacles. Robotic mowers can also be supported by smart cloud-based lawn care software that allows online booking of landscaping services, job scheduling, dispatching, invoicing and payment tracking. Landscaping robots are also plowing snow, blowing leaves and mulching.
