The Segway Navimow i110N passed muster in our review as well. Oure review of the Segway Navimow X350 found it to be great for larger yards. If you live in snow territory, we can recommend the Yarbo Core + Snowblower .

The robot lawn mower has gone from an extremely niche product to approaching mainstream acceptance over the past couple of years, especially among homeowners with larg yards to maintain. But much of this growth in sales has to do with prices, as entry-level models have dropped to less than $1,000. Since fewer people shop for lawn mowers as winter approaches, manufacturers have been offering significant discounts to spur sales, and Black Friday is putting that effort into overdrive.

The UBHome M10 delivers a lot of features and performance for the price, but its low cutting height and problematic GPS navigation detract from its overall value. That said, a firmware update could probably resolve the problems we had with it. We've seen our share of robot mowers from large companies and well-capitalized startups, but very few crowd-funded ones.

This powerful robot lawn mower is very good at its game, but the competition is tough and there are even better choices out there. While the Ecovacs Goat A3000 excels in a few areas, its shortcomings are disruptive enough to give us pause. Robot lawn mowers are very similar to robot vacuum cleaners, at least in principle. So, it shouldn't come as a surprise that a leading robot vacuum manufacturer--namely, Ecovacs--should try its hand at building them.

Robots aren't just for cleaning your home's floors anymore, this variety of autonomous machine will keep your lawns manicured--and you out of the brutal sun. Pardon the pun, but oh my, has the landscape shifted in terms of robot lawn mowers. Five years ago, when I first started covering this smart home category, there were just two brands to choose from: Husqvarna and Worx. Today, there are dozen or so manufacturers vying for the mantle of best robot mower, albeit with varying success. Prices have come down dramatically, too.

Former CIA station chief in Moscow Dan Hoffman breaks down two ways the United States can respond to Russia's attacks on Ukraine on'Fox Report.' In his 26th week back in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump is expected to make a "major announcement" related to Russia, hold a meeting with the NATO chief, and join a summit in Pennsylvania as America's race to lead the world on artificial intelligence continues. Trump spent the anniversary at his home in Bedminster, N.J., before traveling with first lady Melania Trump to the FIFA Club World Cup final on Sunday at MetLife Stadium in the Garden State. Trump returned to the White House on Sunday evening and is expected to have another whirlwind workweek. Trump will meet with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte this week following the U.S. president saying last week that the U.S. is selling weapons to its NATO allies for them to be passed along to Ukraine as it continues battling Russia.

We introduce the Exemplar-Based Expository Text Generation task, aiming to generate an expository text on a new topic using an exemplar on a similar topic. Current methods fall short due to their reliance on extensive exemplar data, difficulty in adapting topic-specific content, and issues with long-text coherence. To address these challenges, we propose the concept of Adaptive Imitation and present a novel Recurrent Plan-then-Adapt (RePA) framework. RePA leverages large language models (LLMs) for effective adaptive imitation through a fine-grained plan-then-adapt process. RePA also enables recurrent segment-by-segment imitation, supported by two memory structures that enhance input clarity and output coherence. We also develop task-specific evaluation metrics--imitativeness, adaptiveness, and adaptive-imitativeness--using LLMs as evaluators. Experimental results across our collected three diverse datasets demonstrate that RePA surpasses existing baselines in producing factual, consistent, and relevant texts for this task.

Radio remains a pervasive medium for mass information dissemination, with AM/FM stations reaching more Americans than either smartphone-based social networking or live television. Increasingly, radio broadcasts are also streamed online and accessed over the Internet. We present WavePulse, a framework that records, documents, and analyzes radio content in real-time. While our framework is generally applicable, we showcase the efficacy of WavePulse in a collaborative project with a team of political scientists focusing on the 2024 Presidential Elections. We use WavePulse to monitor livestreams of 396 news radio stations over a period of three months, processing close to 500,000 hours of audio streams. These streams were converted into time-stamped, diarized transcripts and analyzed to track answer key political science questions at both the national and state levels. Our analysis revealed how local issues interacted with national trends, providing insights into information flow. Our results demonstrate WavePulse's efficacy in capturing and analyzing content from radio livestreams sourced from the Web. Code and dataset can be accessed at \url{https://wave-pulse.io}.

Digital agents are considered a general-purpose technology. They spread quickly in private and organizational contexts, including education. Yet, research lacks a conceptual framing to describe interaction with such agents in a holistic manner. While focusing on the interaction with a pedagogical agent, i.e., a digital agent capable of natural-language interaction with a learner, we propose a model of learning activity based on activity theory. We use this model and a review of prior research on digital agents in education to analyze how various characteristics of the activity, including features of a pedagogical agent or learner, influence learning outcomes. The analysis leads to identification of IS research directions and guidance for developers of pedagogical agents and digital agents in general. We conclude by extending the activity theory-based model beyond the context of education and show how it helps designers and researchers ask the right questions when creating a digital agent.
