- (uncommon) An automatic lawnmower, especially (in later use) one that is robotic.

2017, Franck Cochoy, Joe Deville, Liz McFall, Markets and the Arts of Attachment:Similarly, there would seem to be nothing requiring owners of Husqvarna automowers to move from window to window in their houses to observe the automatic lawnmower as it leaves its loading dock and starts mowing the lawn.
Usage notes
The capitalised form Automower is a brand name of Husqvarna robotic lawnmowers, but the general term long predates Husqvarna's entry into the market (see 1901 quotation above).
