Physical Robots

Physical robotics, autonomous machines, and automated equipment are the main threat to the physical tasks in this occupation.

Landscaping and Groundskeeping Workers perform physical outdoor maintenance tasks in unstructured, variable environments—conditions that are among the most challenging for robotics and automation. Autonomous mowing robots (Husqvarna Automower) handle flat, simple lawn areas but cannot manage complex trimming, planting, or specialized horticulture. The 2025-2027 period will see incremental automation of repetitive mowing tasks while skilled installation, design execution, and complex maintenance remains human work.
