Makita has finally entered this industry.
Robot, robot, automatically going at it! ♪
Almost completely automated work—well, only for people managing fairly vast properties.
When you think about annual labor costs for maintenance, it might actually be cheaper?
We’re in an era where robots are steadily taking over jobs. I think we should focus on having people perform tasks only they can do.

What was a bit surprising was the “18V” specification.
There are many 18V users, but the power difference between 18V and 40V is huge.
I thought it should be 40V, but there must be various issues like weight.
I have a feeling a 40V version might come out soon.

Because it’s 18V, you can’t mow everything at once—that’s the reality.
And before using it, you might need to mow down to around 60mm first.

Maximum climbing angle of 26°
There’s a possibility it can only handle fairly gentle terrain. The AUTOMOWER™ 435X AWD can apparently climb about 35°.
I hope this is a step forward for the industry! (*´ω`*)

Can handle up to 3,000 square meters of work
So the signal must reach that far. With this kind of product, if you mess up the installation, it’s a real problem.
It won’t move or you lose it—you need to lay the wire boundary very carefully.

The “680,000 yen price” is shocking, but it cuts labor costs significantly. (*´ω`*)
You still need to install the boundary wire and set up the route. (Same with Husqvarna.)
There might be a future where it automatically maps like a Roomba and you can just use it.
But it’s quite a specialized use case…
You can only really use it if you own a huge lawn—like a park, business facility, or garden.
Well, I just thought it was interesting that something like this exists.
