Lawnmower bots are relatively cheap, so the cost for snow ones will probably go down as well over time (then again the market for them is probably much smaller and yeah, snow removal is cheaper and easier for a human to do compared to lawn mowing)
- pclmulqdq 3y agoWith all due respect to that company, it also doesn't look like it can stand up to removing very thick snow or operating on a large surface area. My house (and a lot of others who would pay for this) regularly gets more than 12 inches of snow in one event every winter, so the robot would have to operate in the middle of a snowstorm to keep the driveway and sidewalk clear on the day that matters. Snow removal is also lot more physically strenuous than most other yard tasks, meaning much bigger motors and batteries, almost approaching car-sized.
