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.
