The name alone conjures more than the device delivers:

for videos. This device is allleged by its maker to be an autonomous weed wacker:

The HortiBot is capable of passing over several parcels with visible rows auto nomously based on a commercial row detection system from Eco-Dan with no use of Global Positioning Systems (GPS) which is normally used by UGV's. Currently, the robot can identify approximately 25 different kinds of weeds and is equipped with a computer and GPS to find the exact location of the weeds and the plants themselves.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. Yeah, right. Let's get this sucker on the playa and find some weeds.

Now we just need one that can roam through cow pastures looking for mushrooms.
