…to be profitable.” Electric Sheep added that its robotic mowers don’t require an engineer on site – they can just be shipped to the site and begin tasks alongside the crew. This is only possible through a full-stack data channel and the large volume of data that the robots are continually trained on, the company claimed. While 80% to 90% of Electric Sheep's current market ranges from complex residential yards and highway medians to corporate and urban parks, Murty noted that Electric Sheep is working on robot arms for trimming hedges or moving trash. “These are data-rich problems that will…

…and then we said, “We don't have a lawn mower.” We came out with 15066 to give some more information, and we still have more to do about it. But I will say in putting forth the concept and trying to frame safety around it, all of a sudden, a lot of development work by robotics manufacturers and integrators occurred. The reality is, to build safety into any given sort of machine, it costs money. If a robot manufacturer has a notion that there is no market for it, why spend money on development? Let's be realistic. We don't have…
