Is a robot lawn mower patented?
Short answer: specific designs of a robot lawn mower have been patented many times, but "a robot lawn mower" as a general idea is not what is protected. What matters is the exact combination of features in your version.

What this means for your idea
Because patents cover specific combinations of features, the useful question is not “has a robot lawn mower been patented?” but “has my combination of features been described before?” Outdoor products differ mostly in weatherproofing, power source, folding mechanisms and how they mount or anchor.
