With the latest release, Yarbo renders obstacles it detects into the map as it works. In the release YouTube video, the gentleman says mower gets smarter the more you use it, suggesting this data is being stored and updated from job to job.
After running a job, I don’t see the point cloud data again, and starting another job shows no previous point cloud data on the map, until Yarbo encounters an obstacle again. It appears to start from scratch every time.
Am I missing something?
It currently only saves for the duration of the work plan. It will use what it learned during the entirety of the plan. After it’s complete, it wipes it and starts fresh for next time. Long term they may be able to retain that or allow you to make no go zones with the data more easily.
Thank you for your question! The point cloud-based obstacle bypass feature is designed to help the mower navigate around unexpected obstacles in real time, and the obstacle data is currently saved only for the duration of the work plan. This is why the point cloud data is not retained after the job is completed. However, we will consider adding the ability to retain obstacle information for future work plans if more users express similar requests. We appreciate your feedback!
Thank you @Yarbo-Forum for the clarification. The rendering of obstacles is a nice-to-have, but hopefully this feature will continue to be developed. Using that information to remember where obstacles are, allowing user to create no-go zones from these obstacles, etc., would be a huge improvement to initial setup of Yarbo. Thanks again for the continued improvement!
@Yarbo-Forum Please discuss this with co-founder Ken. He and Ryan may not be up on the status of this feature.
I agree with this. During today’s live stream, co-founder Ken referred to this feature as if Yarbo remembers and learns obstacles over time, and gives you ability to create no go zones from this data. Such features would be great, but are not in the current release.
