Since iRobot Corporation (NASDAQ: IRBT) released its first Roomba robotic vacuum more than 12 years ago, it has sold over 10 million home robots worldwide. But if iRobot has its way, your lawn could be its next destination in the near future.

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission recently revealed that iRobot has requested a waiver of certain rules prohibiting the unlicensed operation of certain fixed wideband wireless systems. iRobot's end goal, according to the request, is to be able to market and receive certification for a robotic lawn mower.

Of course, this shouldn't be a huge surprise. Robotics-industry watchers have already uncovered related robotic lawn mower patent applications from iRobot dating to 2007. And just last year, iRobot Chief Technology Officer Paulo Pirjanian hinted in an MIT Technology Review interview , "Through our government and defense business we have a lot of experience with things that work in rugged outdoor environments, so you can imagine us going into the backyard."

iMowbot? Yes, please! Lucky for us, iRobot's request reveals several juicy details regarding its new robotic lawn mower plans.

First, iRobot points out that electric robotic lawn mowers are not only better for the environment than gas-powered mowers but would also reduce deaths and injuries related to lawn mowing, minimize noise pollution, and improve quality of life for the elderly, disabled, and anyone who wants additional free time to spend with friends and family -- or, as I can attest as a longtime Roomba owner, to watch in amusement as the robotic lawn mower does its thing.

iRobot also notes that while robotic lawn mowers are already "well accepted in Europe," the only models available in the United States require the placement of underground electric fences. That requires digging a trench and installing buried wire, "a cumbersome and costly process that has limited greatly the public's adoption of [robotic lawn mower] technology."

As a result, iRobot states its own robotic lawn mower -- which has yet to be named -- "will not require buried wire, but instead will rely on stakes (i.e. portable beacons) in the yard that transmit to the robot to map out and stay within the designated mowing area."

By iRobot's estimation, the typical user with a lawn between one quarter and one third of an acre would require between four and nine battery-powered stakes. And after an initial setup procedure "of a few minutes' duration," those beacons would communicate only with the robot via unique addressing. That means each user's beacons are capable of talking only to their respective robot, even if several other neighbors operate their own robotic lawn mowers at the same time.

What to expect next If you were hoping to unleash a robotic lawn mower from iRobot in time for this summer, however, you're probably out of luck. iRobot states that the product is currently in the "early design phase," so it's unclear exactly when it will be ready for mainstream adoption. Either way, that day couldn't come soon enough to appease iRobot skeptics, who worry about the fact that its fast-growing Roomba line currently generates around 85% of total sales.

But in the end, it's hardly surprising that iRobot would want to get this right the first time. iRobot CEO Colin Angle has made it clear that he prefers baby steps in robotics, and to "pick applications that have real concrete value to customers, deliver on or exceed their expectations, and move on." With that in mind, you can bet iRobot will introduce the mower at a relatively attractive price to maximize both profits and its value proposition.

iRobot Corporation's Robotic Lawn Mower Could Be on Its Way

One of the most important economic movements in a generation Even restaurant reservations could be 'Uberized' 'Uberization' could exacerbate income inequality

Take the power of Uber and apply it to X.

Thats the formula currently being touted by a deluge of tech startups seeking to convince investors that they have the next revolutionary, billion-dollar idea.

The Uber app, which connects passengers through their smartphones with nearby drivers for hire, is worth some $40 billion, making it the most highly valued tech startup in the United States. Like the Silicon Valley darlings that came before it think Groupon or Netflix or Facebook Uber has inspired a gaggle of copycat startups hoping to convince venture capital markets theyve tapped into Ubers formula for success.

Many industry watchers believe the phenomenon combining realtime data, mobile payments, instant gratification and dynamic pricing is the beginning of a technologically-driven economic shift, an on-demand revolution that will Uberize the entire economy.

But Uber has yet to prove whether it is worth its multi-billion dollar valuation or whether it is just the latest tech fad that could leave a trail of copycat casualties in its wake when the shine wears off, as Groupon did.

Peak Uber has hit, says Nick Waddell, who has received multiple Uber of X-style press releases as author of the tech blog Cantech Letter.

He came to this realization at a mixer event for investors and startups after watching a fund manager so fed up with hearing Uber-related ideas that he stopped an entrepreneur who was pitching his company as the next Uber and walked away.

Its a kind of lazy shorthand thats always been around. Three or four years ago, it was Groupon, and now its Uber, Waddell said.

He also believes, however, that Uber is much more than a fad. He thinks its one of the most important economic movements weve seen in a generation.

When did you start WD Yards? 1985.

Can you believe this is your 30th anniversary in business? Its pretty exciting to think we are celebrating our 30th anniversary. We have had thirty years of working with great people.

How did you get involved in lawn care and landscaping? The lawn mowing actually started a couple of years prior to 1985 with me as a kid not old enough to drive, mowing lawns in my parents neighborhood with a little mower and borrowed gas from my dads truck. Soon after I was mowing a lot of lawns and even got my first business cards. Through the years the little lawn mowing job turned into WD Yards. It is an American dream story come true.

How many employees did you have when WD Yards began? At first, I was just mowing lawns myself. When I had more customers than I could handle, I started hiring neighborhood kids. After I left for college in 1987, I partnered with my dad, David Christensen. My mother, Dixie Christensen also joined the team to run the office, and thats when what is now known as WD Yards was born.

Whether it is baseball, basketball, or hockey, Logan Tiell plays them all. Sports keep him busy, active, and out of trouble.

So when Logan, an eighth grader at St. Joseph School in Sylvania, considered service projects for his upcoming Confirmation, sports immediately came to mind.

I was thinking about Confirmation and thinking of a service project that I could do, Logan said. I thought, Why dont we collect sports equipment for people that dont have new sports equipment to use? A lot of people have used or outgrown sports equipment. I thought, Why dont we make a collection and donate that to people who dont get new sports equipment each year, like I am blessed to have?

Logan will be confirmed on April 19 in Toledos Rosary Cathedral. He and his grandmother Joyce Swin, who is also his sponsor, came up with a community service action plan.

After much discussion and planning, they decided on a one-day collection of sports equipment. The day before his confirmation, they will hold what they have dubbed a Sport Equipment Clean Up from 9 a.m. until noon at St. Josephs Church in Sylvania.

All items that are collected will be donated to Sylvania Area Family Services and the Farm Labor Organizing Committee.

We said wed like to keep it in the area to make it local, Ms. Swin said. But then wed also like to do something different and we considered the group of migrant workers because of the fact that they dont really have a home. Theyre here for a matter of weeks and we were wondering what the kids do. Logan said playing baseball or softball or Frisbee would be a good activity.

Eight of Logans classmates, also Confirmation candidates, are teammates on his baseball team and will join Logan in supporting the collection drive.

Imagine you are in your 60s, looking over your shoulder for signs that your job will soon disappear. You don't have a pension. You don't have much money in your 401(k) plan. Indeed, you may have next to nothing. What you do have is your home, one you have lived in for a long time - long enough to have paid off the mortgage.

For millions of people, this situation requires no imagination. It is almost exactly what they are facing. Is there a way to turn it around?

I believe there is. It involves reimagining shelter. It means transforming your basic circumstances. Consider Bill and Ann, a couple who own a home valued at $208,000, the recent median sales price for existing homes. They own it free and clear.

But they're both 65 and have just lost their jobs. Worse, a previous period of unemployment forced them to draw down most of the money in their 401(k) plans. Now, their largest resource is their Social Security checks. As average workers, that's $1,215 a month for each, a total of $2,430 a month.

Now that they are involuntarily retired, the house they love has become a cost burden. Taxes, insurance, repairs, services and utilities cost them about $8,400 a year. Add their Medicare Part B premium of $104.90 a month, each, and only $1,520 a month remains to cover the cost of everything else.

What can they do?

Not a palace

Here's the transformation: They can sell their house and move to a resident-owned manufactured-home community. Doing so will provide them a two-bedroom, two-bath home with 1,000 to 1,200 square feet.

It won't be a palace, but palaces aren't good designs for aging in place, anyway. Homeowner association dues cover outdoor work such as lawn mowing. And they will have neighbors watching out for them as they get older.

They will net about $185,000 after the costs of selling their house and moving. Next, they buy a manufactured home for $65,000 to $70,000 - a common price level for manufactured-home resales in resident-owned communities.

Transforming home equity into a better retirement

Madison Township trustees approved a new 2015 cemetery mowing contract last week after some debate over whether to bring the work back in-house as a cost-saving measure.

At their March 18 meeting, trustees voted in favor of a new one-year contract with G.A.G. Inc. to mow township cemeteries at a cost of $285 every seven to 10 days, as needed.

Public Works Superintendent Dave Weaver said it has been years since the township has had a new contractor for these services. He said the previous contractor, Hardin Lawn Maintenance, is no longer operating in the area.

"We haven't had to do this in so long. We've had a great contractor doing this, but they are no longer working in the area, and G.A.G. came in only $10 a week higher than what we'd been paying Hardin Lawn Maintenance," Weaver said.

Trustee Gary McDonald said in light of all the budget cuts that have hit the township in recent years, he'd like to know if the Public Works Department could handle this work.

"Looking at the cost of $285 a week, this adds up to a cost to us of about $8,500 for the season, and then add in the Mennonite cemetery and it's a little over $10,000 for the year," McDonald said. "I'm wondering if the road department can handle mowing these because of all the cuts we've been facing."

However, Weaver pointed out that many of the cuts have also affected his department, including reducing his full-time staff from nine employees to five.

"Our issue is manpower, because of all the areas that we already currently mow, not to mention last year we had about 300 nuisance properties we were mowing, along with cleaning up trash," he said. "I need my staff to do road repair and we're just stretched too thin."

Township Administrator Susan Brobst also pointed out that Madison Township doesn't have enough equipment to add part-time or full-time staff members to take on this work.
