This robot lawnmower is designed to pick fruit and throw your dog a ball

"That arm is designed to help reduce the amount of manual maintenance that's required for people who own and run robot lawnmowers, such as picking up any fallen sticks or debris that could damage the bot or force it to navigate around the obstacle. The arm folds down to 44.5 cm (about 17.5 inches) in length, extends up to 77 cm (a little over 30 inches), and can reach as far as one meter away when performing outdoor tasks."

"A 3D animated video demo shows the mower throwing a ball for a dog, for example, though it's hard to picture a pooch that would engage positively with such a visibly not human-looking device. The inclusion of "Concept" in its name indicates that this isn't a consumer-ready product you can actually go out and buy, but some concept products do eventually evolve into something tangible."

The Master X Series Concept is the first robotic mower with a fully functional mechanical arm. The arm reduces manual maintenance by picking up fallen sticks or debris that could damage the mower or force it to navigate around obstacles. The arm folds to 44.5 cm, extends to 77 cm, and can reach about one meter for outdoor tasks. Multiple interchangeable attachments include a multi-gripper, a trimmer head, and an edging disc head, with additional tools under development. Demonstrated capabilities include trimming, weeding, fruit picking, and pet interaction. The product remains a concept with no price or release timeline announced.
