A Naperville entrepreneur says his technology can help cut the amount of harmful emissions churned out in the commercial landscaping industry through the use of robot mowers.

Members of the Naperville-based Havenshine Technologies team, from left, landscaping expert Matt Pawlelski, software engineer Denis Masyukov, founder and CEO Ilya Sagalovich and co-founder and lead engineer Daniel Garcia demonstrated this week how autonomous technology can be used to mow large properties in a profitable, sustainable and safe way.

According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, gas-powered mowers account for 5% of total air pollution in the United States, and one push mower emits as much pollution per hour as 11 cars and a riding mower as much as 34 cars.Sagalovich said because the price of electric mowers is still so steep, most landscapers choose not to adopt.

This week Havenshine Technologies partnered with the nonprofit coalition Chicago Area Clean Cities, or CACC, to demonstrate to landscapers and representatives from park districts and the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County how autonomous electric mowers might work in their organization.
