If you’re not freaked out by the idea of a robot roaming around outside your house, you might be interested in Louisiana State University’s AgBot. The solar-powered multi-function robot can do everything from taking care of your garden to guarding your house at night.

As part of its Earth Day observations next week, Louisiana State University plans to hold its first-ever conference on sustainability.

Hosted by LSU’s Environmental Conservation Organization, the conference is scheduled to run from Monday, April 21, through Friday, April 25, as part of the university’s third annual environmental festival. Earth Day is on Tuesday, April 22.
