The inventor of the bestselling vacuum cleaner robot has created a bot that cuts weeds.

The device is like a Roomba for your garden.

It’s called “Tertill” is a solar powered weeding robot and a built-in whacker to get rid of them.

The bot can conquer most terrain with four-wheel drive.

It’s also waterproof and self-charging.

Plant collars keep smaller specimens alive and because Tertill cuts weeds at the source, you never have to resort to harmful herbicides.

Weed whacking has never been so adorable.
