- Worth noticing
- The field notes say few commercial robots publish SDKs, naming Husqvarna, Boston Dynamics, FarmBot, and Clearpath among the exceptions.
Field notes
Job categories link to robot entries that distinguish availability, commercial or open-source status, costs, and access to documentation or simulation tools. The field notes report that mowing is the most mature and open category, while several cleanup tasks remain largely at the prototype or research stage. They also identify a small set of commercial robots with published SDKs, including products from Husqvarna, Boston Dynamics, FarmBot, and Clearpath.
