When it debuted in 2002, the Roomba captured the public’s attention. No one had ever seen such a clever vacuum cleaner, let alone one that was hands-free.
Fifteen years later, Roomba creator Joe Jones may have come up with the next ground-dwelling superstar, only this time the machine works outside.
Here’s what Tertill is all about.

When it encounters a weed, the device will roll over the unwanted plant and cut it from the ground.

Once it’s removed, the weed can either be left to die or scooped up.

Tertill is low-maintenance. It only requires a small raised border around the garden to stay in the right area and a small amount of space between plants.

Otherwise, the device will happily scan the surrounding area for pesky weeds that it can conquer.
