The City of Calgary is testing out a robot lawn mower as part of a small-scale pilot program looking at more efficient ways to care for parks.
"Part of this is trying out innovative ideas, like autonomous mowers, to see if we can identify an opportunity to improve our operations," said spokesperson Kyle Ripley in a Tuesday news release.
