My robot mower does this. It traverses the lawn like a Roomba. Took me awhile to get used to.

My guy, robot mowers have been around for some time now. The catch is you need to bury a guide wire around the perimeter of the area the mower is meant to cut. Or at least that was the case the last time I looked into getting one.

There are some which are guided via gps now. However, i won't trust them being so precise. For me/us burying a guide wire was the better solution. Some manufacturers even claim, that you dont have to burry the line cos it will be overgrown by grass after a short amount of time.

My Roomba vacuums in a pattern. It finds the edges of the room, finds obstacles, and then goes ||||| across the middle of the room, doing little circles around table legs.

Must have a big yard! Mine is good for 1/2 acre but it could just run more often so I think you could stretch it a bit
