Moe the Robotic Mowing Sheep

This is what every lawn needs: Moe the robotic lawn mowing sheep, made by Osman Khan at the Carnegie Mellon University.

Geeks are Sexy blog has the video clip:

The sheep, named Mower, has been designed by Osman Khan, a visiting assistant professor at Carnegie Mellon’s, with Philip K. Dick’s “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep” in mind.

The robot features GPS navigation, obstacle avoidance sensors and lawn mowing teeth. It will move around your backyard on 6 little articulated legs, cutting grass wherever it steps.

    So does this one every now and then have adventures with an inventor (Osman I presume), a dog, and a love for cheese? ;)

    “Mower” isn’t a very creative name! Why not “MowBaa” instead of “Roomba”? It fits, yes?
