Eeve Willow X unveiled

With its design, the Eeve Willow X could have sprung directly from the Pixar flick Wall-E, which the developer has presented there now. As an intelligent garden robot, the Willow X can do much more than just mow the lawn.

According to the announcement trailer, the robot is able to weed with its arms, sweep the patio with an add-on or free the lawn from small parts lying around, such as branches. The concept video shows how the Willow X puts the waste on the compost and even collects vegetables.

Even without robot experience, you can easily teach Willow to help you with repetitive or boring tasks. Maintains your garden, guards your property, sweeps your patio, transports goods, plays games or takes beautiful photos at parties in your home.

At the same time, the robot can be controlled with a computer or smartphone and is constantly learning new tasks, also thanks to AI functions. With the help of the StarLight application, you can assign different tasks to the robot.
