webots VS OpenMower

Open Robotics Resources - Provides guides and documentation for robotics simulation.

Deepbots is an open-source framework facilitating reinforcement learning in Webots. Webots provides easy-to-use tools to create your own worlds/robots, and deepbots interfaces Webots with any gym-compatible RL agent. It does this by guiding even the most novice users to create gym-style environments that are compatible with Webots (we have recreated the classic control problem CartPole successfully in Webots, among others). Deepbots handles all low-level details to interface the environment with the simulator.

FreeCAD has a robotics workbench, and it is free software. There's also the Webots Open Source Robot Simulator which comes with lots of robots out of the box and is also free software, meaning you can not only download and use it free of charge, you can also influence development by fixing bugs yourself or filing issue reports.

Cyberbotics remains committed to provide high quality, free and open source software to the robotics community on the long run.

Seriously, everyone thinking of robotics should know about this concept. Save yourself hundreds of thousands of dollars and try out the operating environment, your robot design, your sensors, your code, your trouble shooting skills and the newest hardware on a free piece of software. https://cyberbotics.com/

Webots https://cyberbotics.com/, is a good resource for coding robots using Python.

a free robot simulator i happen to be aware of, you may find it useful but I never actually used it: https://cyberbotics.com/

I appreciate you trying to help, but my question was, "is the 3000 SQ meters just the max the battery can handle, or a software limitation". If one is ok with waiting a long time for it to cycle back to the beginning again, and just mowing the max amount every time, then the navimow seems reasonable. I wouldn't care if it would take a month to get back to the beginning, it still means it gets mowed once every month, which is fine for my use case. Spending 16k on a mower is not. It was buy mower with this capability or building an openmoweropenmower that could do so.

This is coming from someone that wishes that someone would sell a kit or publish plans with a list of parts needed and printable to make a robot mower that can scale up for yards larger than 2 acres. Best thing I've found so far is this: https://github.com/ClemensElflein/OpenMower

You get a robot mower specifically so you don't have to go outside. Plus, it's a freaking robot that mows your lawn!!! How cool is that! That factor alone means someone whose primary hobby is collecting IoT things has to get one... or two. Plus maybe another open source OpenMower tinkering platform mower. That's the mentality of an IoT hoarder.
