Bosch indigo (lawn mower)

This little green goblin is the Bosch Indego, an automatic lawnmower. Robochop, if you will. It pootles around your garden cutting the grass, then when it's done it tootles back to its docking station (or nest, as I like to think of it) and recharges itself. If it bumps into anything on its way, it will stop, then chart another course away from the branch/barbecue/bird bath in its path.

I can't help thinking of it as some sort of creature, not least because it looks as though it has nostrils, and during its stay in my backyard, it's been all I can do not to stick a pair of eyes on its froggy face. You can programme it to mow at certain times and off it will go, happily munching the lawn and leaving the clippings behind as mulch.
