Solar-Powered Automated Weeders

The Tertill Would Be Useful for Avid Gardeners with Limited Time

The Tertill is a solar-powered automated robot that is well-suited for consumers who enjoy gardening, but that may be too short on time to take part in some of the more tedious aspects of it.

Created by Franklin Robotics, the small robot comes in a circular shape and self-drives around people's gardens in order to take out any weeds in its way. The weeding robot is powered by solar energy, and ensures that users do not have to worry about using harmful chemicals on their gardens to get rid of weeds quickly. The Tertill is waterproof and connects to users' smartphones via Bluetooth, and is able to avoid plants with homeowners simply attaching a "plant collar" around them.

The Tertill is ideal for those who would like to clean up their yards in a way that is efficient and that saves time.
