Possibly, though I get the feeling yards are just too complex to design a universal tool for. Some lawns have multiple disconnected patches, how would the device travel across? If you leave a hose across the lawn, hopefully it wouldn't run it over. The device would have to be "off road" capable with a strong motor for driving if it wants to handle any rough or uneven terrain. Likewise, I imagine the software works better for a small device, which would be a challenge as well, for the features it would require. I think this tool would be useful for single-patch, level, mildly-complex designed yards that are already partially maintained, and that's about it. Would you carry the device from front yard to back when it needs to be done? At that rate, you might just mow it manually.
