Lawrenceville, GA – Kyodo America is thrilled to introduce two new models of the revolutionary LawnBott – the perimeter wire-free LB1200 and the new Bluetooth enabled LB3500 – at the 2008 International Consumer Electronic Show at the Sands Convention Center in Las Vegas, January 7-10, 2008.
LawnBott is a gas-free, robotic lawnmower that uses a flat blade to mulch your grass as it cuts it - mowing and fertilizing your lawn all at once to reduce the need for lawn chemicals. Programmable in six different languages, LawnBott can be set for up to three zones such as a front, side or backyard to trim grass for 3-4 hours in a single charge on a weekly schedule, daily, or as often as you see fit, and automatically returns to its home when the job is done to recharge.
“Modern technology is changing the way we do everything,” explains John Tarvin, marketing manager of KA Home Robotics. “Our robotic mowers will cut your grass, everyday, freeing you to do the things you enjoy. Spend Saturdays with the kids, play golf, relax. It’s up to you. With a LawnBott, you can actually enjoy your lawn and have one less thing to worry about.”
The new LawnBott LB3500 is newest and most sophisticated robotic mower on the planet featuring Bluetooth compatibility that allows it to be conveniently programmed and controlled from any Bluetooth enabled device including cellular phones or PDA devices. For initial set-up, simply plug the LawnBott’s docking station into a standard electrical outlet and use the included perimeter wire to set up a boundary around the lawn edge, flowerbeds and bushes.
Utilizing two lithium-ion batteries to propel its powerful motors, the LB3500 will leave the docking station at its programmed time to navigate slopes up to 30º and maintain a large yard area up to 38,000 sq. ft. and then will return home to recharge when it’s done mowing or when the battery runs low. Safety and security are further enhanced with the LB3500 which has a higher sensitivity, free-floating, 360° bumper shell, blade stop proximity sensor, and an on-board alarm system should an unauthorized user pick up the LawnBott.
The new LawnBott LB1200 is the first and only robotic mower that doesn’t require a perimeter wire – the patented sensors actually sense when the LB1200 is on grass and when it needs to be cut to maintain a desired height. When the LB1200 approaches walkways, curbs, patios, herb gardens, and flowerbeds it simply reverses its direction and continues to mow up to 8,000 sq. ft. of lawn managing slopes up to 30º. The LB1200 is the simplest to use. Just place it down on the grass, turn it on, and walk away. With simple On and Off buttons, there is no programming to worry about, let the LB1200 cut when you want it to.
The LB3200 Evolution, the only robotic mower with Adaptive Programming Technology, will also be on display at CES. Its learning computer actually reprograms itself to adapt to the cutting requirements of your yard. This not only conserves battery life and lengthens the durability of the electric motors, it also contributes to a healthier looking lawn.
LawnBott uses $7 to $10 worth of electricity a year and because gas or oil is not required, they are eco-friendly with no pollution and zero emissions. All LawnBott models include a virtually no noise motor. As a safeguard, a proximity sensor will automatically shut off the blade if the device is picked up to avoid injuries. LawnBott is also quiet enough for a late night or early morning cut without disturbing neighbors, or yourself, while it mows. LawnBott also comes equipped with a rain sensor, which allows it to cut during light rain but stops once it senses too much water, immediately returning to its docking station.

LB3200 Evolution $2,749.00 (MSRP)
