Abstract: Disclosed is an autonomous robot to remove pathogens from a target area such as a grass field, turf field, or yard. Embodiments include an ultraviolet light subsystem that generates ultraviolet radiation operable to remove the pathogens from the target area as the autobot advances along the coverage path.

Abstract: Disclosed is a cable guard device configured to be driven into ground near a transition point on an edge line delineating a yard area from a hardscape. Embodiments of the cable guard device comprise at least one stake portion, a cable guard channel configured to receive a cable, and a cable guard extension. When the cable is received through the cable guard channel and the at least one stake portion is driven into ground near the transition point on the edge line delineating the yard area from the hardscape, the cable channel guard protects from damage a first portion of the cable over the yard area and the cable guard extension protects from damage a second portion of the cable over the hardscape.
