Pop Japan

Say goodbye to all those massive lawnmowers. This is Japan's cute and convenient technological answer.

The Miimo is Honda's robotic lawnmower. It is an efficient grass cutter without the space-eating size, and eardrum-busting revving noise. The Miimo uses a microchip, timer, and sensors to cut grass quietly within a defined area. You wouldn't have to worry about it because it operates on its own. It can also detect electrical fields, and evade it easily. The Miimo also has a quick turn mechanism which enables it to change direction in a smooth motion, without having to reverse. The Honda Miimo is battery-operated. It is also water-resistant. The Miimo is available in the US starting June.
