Here's a great idea that shows just the kind of thing that robotic technology is great for. Bug abatement. A team of undergrad engineering students have developed a system that utilizes a robot that follows a perforated tube around the perimeter of a yard. The tube emits carbon dioxide(CO2) to attract ticks. The robot drags a "skirt" of pesticide impregnated denim material(a natural attraction for ticks) that collects and kills the ticks. The primary advantage here is fewer chemical pesticides sprayed in the environment. Chemicals used for tick abatement require people to stay out of the area for two days following application. Above all the abatement of ticks is important to avoid the spread of Lyme disease.
While this system might be expensive for just tick abatement if it were combined other robotic functions like lawn maintenance functions like edging and trimming or additional bug abatement systems for mosquitos, bees, flies ants. etc. then you'd really have a great new yard care robot.
