The Styrofoam sheep can mow large lawns with the help of a remote control. While not the most efficient lawn mowing device on the market, it also talks, bleets and sings "Mary Had a Little Lamb."
WIRED NextFest, now in its fifth year, showcases unique and bold exhibits of sustainable design, next generation healthcare, interactive art and games, humanoid robotics and more.
