Wii operated lawn mower

From the Southern University of Denmark robotics laboratory "RoboCluster" comes the Casmobot. A remote controlled lawn mower operated with a Nintendo Wii controller (Wiimote).

Finally something that will get the kid to mow the lawn! (Bah-dump-bump)

Seriously though, the folks of RoboCluster are developing remote technology for industrial use in many plant care/farming applications. Wii operated lawn mowers would be used to mow extreme slopes and other inaccessible areas and may someday be used by a video-game-loving teen to mow your lawn.
