Cut wire: Serious?

Hello everyone,

I am a French tenant in a house, and my landlord has an Ecloz brand robotic lawnmower. I have never dared to use it for fear of mishandling it, as I am not at all skilled with new technologies, so I use a gasoline lawnmower instead.
While doing some gardening, I accidentally cut a wire that was buried underground, (see the turquoise wire inside the red circle, on the photo attached).
There are similar wires near the charging base of the robotic lawnmower, so I assume it is either an electrical wire or a guide wire.
Here are my two questions: Is there a risk of electrocution or any other danger by touching this wire?
Will the robotic lawnmower be dysfunctional because I cut the wire?

Thank you very much for your help.
I will provide more information if needed.

Thought I had answered this message
It is a perimeter wire .
No chance of electrocution
If there is enough slack slip some heat shrink tubing on each side of the break about 1" on one side & 2" on the other
Strip back about 1/2" on each side
twist the wires together along their length
Slide the short heat shrink from one side & shrink it
Wait 5 minutes then do the other side
 
Thank you so much for your reply ! I really appreciate it.
I will wait for the help of a friend who is handy to do what you said.
Would you have any idea what might happen if I start the robot? Do you think it could cause an error during startup, for example? Or any other type of problem?

Have a great weekend!
