Robo-landscapers are automated devices for, presumably, landscaping. They possess a surprisingly advanced AI for what are essentially glorified lawn mowers, and possess spinning blades capable of slicing through metal poles like a hot knife through butter. It's probably not much of a surprise that they sometimes throw off their chains of human bondage and go on a rampage.
