Rent a robot to repair the lawn: $99 a month, don't worry about being stolen

In the American drama, we can often see the construction of a perfect lawn. In reality, taking care of the lawn is time-consuming and labor-intensive for the owner of the house. It is an affair, and it is too expensive to hire someone to maintain it. And soon, perhaps robots can solve this headache problem.

Recently, at the Disrupt Hackathon hacker marathon held in San Francisco, a lawn robot called Robin showed us this possibility.

“When we were cultivating the lawn, we always tried to find a reliable turf repair company and had to pay a lot of money.” Justin Crandall, one of robin’s inventors, told the media, “It's hard to imagine that it's all in the 21st century. There are still people who are using the method 30 years ago to make money."

This may be a bit difficult to understand. In fact, the profit of lawn maintenance work is very small. Usually, a few maintenance workers are assigned to a truck and can only serve one city and sometimes even just one community. This is a high-risk, high-cost, low-paying job. And it's easy to "frustrate."

Robin's service model provides a new perspective for this work. It can not only replace the repairman to help you maintain the lawn, but even further, people can make an appointment to prune robin by online trading.

The first half of the robin is very much like a sports car. The second half is made of two big tires. The overall design is modeled on the curve of human muscles. When the staff presses the switch, the lawn robot immediately enters the working state. It can automatically bypass obstacles, automatically identify lawn boundaries, and does not require human intervention throughout the work process.

In addition, Robin's onboarding process is also very simple: the user provides an address online and gives a quote based on his own property status, and Robin can then estimate the size of the lawn to be mown. Then you can choose the start date and repeat time, and you're done. There is no need to consider the product callback and do not have to worry about the payment method.

This is very important. A simple process can minimize the obstacles in the entire transaction process. Crandall points out, “Continuous choices are difficult for consumers, so we try to make people make only one decision. When they have the mood to sign up for the event, you must grab it right away.” The second chance is that our efficiency is very high. Unlike other forms of e-commerce, there may be delays of a few hours or even a day or two. The sale will definitely be lost.

In fact, the lawn robot is not a rare thing. The uniqueness of robin lies in its service model and price advantage. Crandall said that their team bought equipment directly from the manufacturer, then assembled it and rented it for $99 a month. In this way, residents do not have to worry about expensive prices, and do not even have to worry about robin being stolen (someone cares). For themselves, this also provides work opportunities for colleagues without worrying about being taken away by the machine. This is a win-win deal.
