but my yard is split by a chain link fence. How would I setup the Yarbo to run on both sides? Would I have to manually open the gate to get Yarbo from one side to the other?
Are you asking if a lawn mower can reach up and open a chain link fence gate?
If you have a passage that you can manage, it should not be too difficult to coordinate the robot to use whatever travel route you create.
However you currently get your current mower to the other side would be how you’d have to do Yarbo. You could look into an automatic gate opener and would on a manual or automatic schedule. But, all of that would be on you to figure out. There’s no native way currently to open gates.

Thank you for your interest in Yarbo! As Bryan mentioned, you’ll need to manually open the gate, or you could consider an automatic gate that can be controlled remotely to allow Yarbo to pass through the fence.

Thanks for your responses. I thought the answer might just be opening the gate manually but I had a hope that the tech world was advanced enough to figure out how to do it without any intervention from a person. Maybe sometime soon.
One of the co founders has mentioned this as a potential future capability. Hopefully soon enough. There is an API and potential for home assistant integration on the road map as well. It would absolutely be possible at that point.
