Won't it be awesome when there are robots to do all the boring junk we don't want to do? We've already got robots vacuuming our houses and trimming the lawn, so it's only natural that in the future we'll enlist our robo-servants to do something else we don't want to do: shovel our driveways. That day may come sooner than you think. The iShovelis a solar powered robo-snow plow that allows you to sleep in all cozy and warm as it does the grunt work.
The iShovel being called 'the world's first robotic solar snow plow,' and without doing any real fact checking, I'm just going to assume that the iShovel is a legitimate first in the world of enabling robots for lazy people. One fully charged iShovel can clear up to 4,000 square feet on a single charge. While the manufacturing process and materials may be a different story, at least the zero-emissions iShovel runs on solar power, making it at least somewhat eco-friendly. It also replaces those carbon spewing snow blowers.
