By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning DailyNews Daily News – Researchers led by the University of Oxford have developed a new test to assess howdangerous robotic lawnmowers are to hedgehogs. They hope this will lead to a certification scheme thatwill allow consumers to choose ‘hedgehog-friendly’ mowers to help protect these lovable mammals. [Arange of images and video footage is available via the links in the notes section].Robotic lawnmowers are becoming increasingly popular, however many are concerned that runningthese, especially at night when most hedgehogs are active, could pose a threat to European hedgehogs.This species is already in serious decline, with reasons including habitat loss, road traffic accidents, intensiveagriculture, and injuries from dog bites and garden strimmers. In recent years, many hedgehogrehabilitation centres have reported a significant increase in the numbers of hedgehog injuries caused byrobotic lawnmowers.
