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 agai…

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 …

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…

@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.

Yes, yes, a really smart system should retain obstacle for next time!!! or better choose which of theme

I agree that it should give you the option to retain it but it currently gets a lot wrong so I’d prefer that it reset and learn it each time. I’d say that if it encounters something more than 3 times in the same location then it should consider it accurate and offer an automatic NGZ creation. Right…

Right now vision system is pretty much unusable. Sure, it will see the obstacles, but there are too many false positives, causing a bunch of grass to be left uncut. At least they have a way to turn it off for now.

I think Bryan’s point/s is more accurate at this time. There’s too many false positives as he noted and Jeremy noted. I’d hate to see it adding NGZ’s based on the current setup because I watch it add “obstacles” all the time and there’s literally nothing there. Tells me it’s not seeing correctly …

yes bryan, but if you use “delicate touch” (no vision, too many fake) as i use, there is no false obstacle and they could be saved.

Does point cloud obstacle detection save?
