Manufacturers are developing garden robots with loaded features including, GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular technology. These advanced features, flexibility, and ease of operation qualities of garden robots have gained huge popularity among users.

What Concerns Should Garden Robot Manufacturers Watch Out for?

“Prevalence of Traditional Methods to Hinder the Adoption Rate”

A majority of people are still carrying out gardening activities using traditional methods using gardening tools. In addition, conventional methods such as gasoline-powered mowers, leaf blowers, and cultivators among others are still used, due to unawareness of the benefits of garden robots. This obstructs the adoption of garden robots.

In most of the rural areas with low per capita income, gardening and farming activities heavily rely upon conventional methods. Moreover, gasoline-powered garden power equipment can work for a longer time due to the non-restriction of charging time. Consequently, persistent utilization of other traditional and alternative methods is likely to hamper the growth of the garden robot market.
