I am not sure what is on the future for Yarbo features but I am hoping to get better turning on the yarbo saving lots of time. I know there is programming but if there is enough yard the Yarbo should be able to turn without stopping in a continuous fashion.
Thanks for sharing your feedback! We’re currently looking into different ways to improve Yarbo’s turning behavior, including the possibility of adding new turning modes for smoother and more efficient operation.
There is definitely a lot of time in the work plan that is chewed up by gratuitous and unnecessary decisions.
This has been brought up in the past, with no real movement from @Yarbo-Forum
I call them “segmented turns” as opposed to smooth turns. Segmented turns are worse on the turf, worse on the drive unit. Just keep moving forward and turn in an arc as opposed to forward, back,turn, forward, back, back, turn, back, forward, turn, back.
You can make smooth turns with the remote, with the phone (sorta), so why not automated?

I would imagine these segmented turns add significant amounts of time to a work plan.
The robot can actually make these turns automated too. Watch it do the zig zag. It does a smooth arcing turn at one point of the multi-point turn.
OMG YES! Mine does this somewhere in my yard EVERY TIME. But it has room in front AND back (without having to expand the perimeter zone).
Yep. It smooth turns until it exceeds some preset arc value then resorts to segmented. Watched it many times. Doesn’t seem to matter how many times we complain and request changes, nothing happens.
no no, you misspelled “We will forward this on to our development team for further review” wrong…
