This is what my first report looks like, about the lawnmower robot of Friendly Machinery, which in the meantime changed its name to Friendly Robotics and improved the product immeasurably

An Israeli hi-tech company exports a robot lawnmower
A small Israeli high-tech company from Eben Yehuda, "Friendly Mashin", has developed, using military technologies of flight navigation and robotic control, a fully automatic lawnmower. The new garden robot is called Robomow
The robot detects the border of the grass plot using a low-voltage electric cable that surrounds it, and it has a control computer that detects obstacles and bypasses them. The machine, said the company's CEO Udi Pels, moves at a speed of half a meter per second in straight lines. In two hours the robot can mow half a dunam of grass. This is a slightly lower work rate than a person operating a normal lawnmower. The robot's batteries limit it a bit, they are enough for only two and a half hours, and they have to be charged for a whole night.
The company recently raised 8.2 million dollars in a private offering, and it exports the product to six European countries.
Note: The robot's battery has since been improved and it uses sunlight for energy. He can also store it and work at night.
