Yarbo does claim in their ads that it is powered by AI, so?……..LOL

It must not be powered by Grok or Anthopic and be some poorly fed small mobile learning model.. 
Wait… is it OpenClaw? 
I honestly don’t see any resemblance of AI being used to control this thing while it’s out operating. It makes so many mistakes and doesn’t appear to learn from them and correct its behavior for the next time it’s out operating, or even during a current operation run. ever..
@Yarbo is there a git repo anywhere for us to fork and build off of for testing purposes?
There is no AI or Git Repo. It uses stereoscopic cameras and computer vision models. For follow me it tracks you legs essentially. If it seems someone else in its vision it will currently track the closest person, but sounds like a false positive detection. If you know the time that happened they can pull the logs and see what it thought it saw.

The marketers are currently way overpaid compared to the programmers…us programmers always get stiffed.

So are grape vines. On the first run with my mower (before setting no-go zones) it went under and between some vines and broke one of the RTK antenna mounts. Yarbo provided a new one without charge.

I don’t recall where I seen this but I’m pretty sure Yarbo said they use AI for the mapping logic on the backend, not for navigation.
I could be wrong, but I don’t think so. Auto mapping (which they’ve added and removed several times over the years), maybe.
How would auto map operate in this chassis!? That seems ambitious.
Like you fire it up, do the things and stuff needed for it to work and it will create a mowing map autonomously?

I have seen Yarbo use the claim of AI in facebook postings and on Youtube. False, but they claim it.

Like most of the robot mowers that have an auto map feature, it uses well defined boundaries to follow and automatically generate an area map. In yards with fences, sidewalks, and anything else that is easily discernible from grass, it works ok. But, in most instances, it’s just easier to manually map. One of my other robot mowers claims this feature. It somewhat works. But I often have to take control and manually help it in some situations. For Yarbo, it was only ever a mower feature. One that I’ve only seen once or twice in the app. It didn’t get a lot of use I don’t think. Probably for the same reasons as my other mower.
Same, maybe it’s the Mandela effect 
Honestly for 99% of the time I really like my Yarbot, but 1% of the time it does random odd things that make no sense.. 
But, besides it randomly causing damage to my car, I can live with the hiccups. My only fear is it hurting or causing damage to someone else and or their property if they come on to mine. *Visitors* come it’s powered off, always..
I don’t trust it un-monitored..
I was running my snowblower today and I usually have all the safeties off because I monitor it. I was sending it back out for a second cleanup after it just got done cleaning my parking area. I was backing the cars back in the spot when Amazon pulled up. I thought he saw it doing the perimeter lap, he certainly saw me waiting for it to get out of my way. He proceeds to back up into the driveway and get really close to it. I stopped it of course. He gets out and hands me the package, looks over and goes “Oh, I didn’t even see that. What is that a snow shovel?” I can control my environment, but unpredictable things happen. Even if car avoidance beta was on, I don’t believe it would have successfully avoided a collision with an amazon truck backing into it. I’m glad the car avoidance beta was off. Otherwise it may have tried to avoid by turning into the trucks path. Definitely could’ve been bad. All that to say, yes, I completely understand where you’re coming from. It did a wonderful job cleaning up the nasty wet snow we got today and narrowly escaped death by Amazon.
