While robotic backyard assistants have excelled at maintaining lawns in pristine condition, none can match the visual appeal of the Verdie AI-powered outdoor maintenance bot from Electrical Sheep as it effortlessly glides around edges, skillfully blows debris away, and seamlessly handles power tools.
Since 2018, San Francisco-based Electrical Sheep Robotics has been pioneering the development and deployment of innovative outdoor maintenance technologies. Recently, the company has taken steps to expand its reach by acquiring traditional outdoor services providers and gradually transforming operations through the deployment of proprietary AI software and robots, aiming to become a major player in the outdoor maintenance industry.
Unlocking the $1 trillion market requires a fundamental shift away from “a plethora of highly polluting fuel-based energy tools”, including string trimmers, leaf blowers, weed sprayers, and other environmentally detrimental devices – while simultaneously addressing labor shortages in the industry by introducing emission-free, automated assistants.
The brains behind this operation is a generative AI model called ES1, touted as a world model that leverages photorealistic simulated environments, such as parks and lawns, to equip maintenance robots with the intelligence needed to tackle real-world challenges, including navigating obstacles and avoiding hazards like gopher holes.
In its pre-launch teaser, Verdi exudes an air of ominous menace, a stark contrast to the charming film droids that have won our hearts – WALL-E, R2-D2, and BB-8.

The AI-powered fashion designs can seamlessly integrate with Nvidia’s Jetson platforms, allowing for streamlined processing and preparation of comprehensive coverage on a single desktop GPU. Additionally, the system can augment its existing data pool by learning from real-world scenarios encountered during outdoor events with crew teams.
The ES1 agent is currently utilized across a fleet of 40 robotic mowers throughout numerous yards in America and will also be integrated within the new Verdie bot, set for deployment from Q2 this year, enabling the movie-inspired backyard bot to navigate various common power tools through reinforcement learning simulations.

Electrical sheep have benefited from the efficient evaluation of various electrical instruments, each powered by its own battery following “multiple straightforward modifications.” Stereo cameras enable the AI agent to comprehensively perceive the workspace, generating a bird’s-eye view map, detecting low-lying obstacles, registering the robotic arm’s pose, and more. The Verdie self-balancing articulating wheeled platform features advanced leg-based actuation, enabling six levels of freedom and precise control over pitch, roll, and yaw during various operations.
“Marking the launch of Verdie, our pioneering AI robotic designed specifically for tasks such as trimming and edging in landscaping, it’s exhilarating to witness ES1 technology empower multiple robots that can seamlessly collaborate with a crew without requiring on-site engineering expertise.” As we progress into 2024, we intend to deploy the Verdie fleet across our buyer platforms, simultaneously refining these autonomous agents’ capabilities by training them on external data sources.
Below lies a captivating display of Verdie’s carefree nature in action.
