We thought the rider fell off or something and it was going to crash. Then it turned and kept mowing. Park Roomba!

    GPS are very fancy ones, unless that’s changed since I last looked into it. A buried wire, “invisible fence”, has been the norm for all consumer grade ones I’ve seen.

      That’s the style we have as well. In addition to the wire it also detects if it bumps into walls.

      The ones I have seen are GPS locked and they automatically “return home” to the charger when rain drops are detected.
