THE Rise of the Machines would appear to be nigh with armed robots roaming the National Arbretum according to their most recent tweet.
Be on the lookout for this helpful remote controlled mower @NatArboretum. The machine can mow harder to reach areas. pic.twitter.com/sOy8RxauAE

I have to say my robot vacuum cleaner does an amazing job for me, but not armed with mower blades like these beasts.
UPDATE: The Arboretum has made a re-assuring further tweet claiming to show a human still in control of the potential horror film star:
Our mower is controlled by it's operator standing close by. It is a helpful addition to our extensive mowing program. pic.twitter.com/VGQDkH89kB
