The existing robots all use blades that are relatively safe if they hit a person or animal. Maybe it would cause a laceration, but not bad. I've seen videos of the robots going over plastic toys, and they leave the toys intact.

Sounds like a fun project. It's something I've thought about back before they made consumer products. My current musing is how to make an asphalt shingle laying robot. I'd have the material on a spool though instead of "squares".

Will this robot mow a pattern, or random?
