Today I’m having connection problems, probably due to work they’re doing on the line. Yarbo, working without a GPS signal, manages to detect my perimeter walls and I personally find it fantastic. Why can’t it do it when there is a GPS signal?
Do you have boundary obstacle avoidance off? They’ve taken efforts to limit what it detects on the perimeter while running the zig zag to prevent false obstacle avoidance along the boundary which could cause it to miss grass. At least that’s my guess.
I didn’t explain myself… without GPS it detects my perimeter walls and I find it correct… I would like it to do it with the GPS signal too or maybe be able to trace them as obstacles
If the perimeter borders are fenced, why not survey them?
Well the issue is when it throws up a point cloud on the map, it has a fixed distance that it will keep away from it. At least currently. So the detections that are outside the boundary can impact its path inside the boundary if that makes sense. I believe this is why it doesn’t detect them. But without GPS it would need to. It would also be going a lot closer as it’s more of a guesstimate instead of precision. I used to see what you are describing when mine was running solely on PPVS. That’s how I knew I was loosing GPS when I would see the red point cloud detections as the bot got too close to the boundary and my bushes or trees. When it had good GPS, it didn’t get too close to detect unless one of the bushes was leaning branches over the mapped boundary, then it would detect it.
Your reasoning is absolutely correct. Personally, I’d like to be able to include perimeter fences as obstacles in the map, as we already do for trees, bushes, etc., to prevent the Yarbo from touching them with its tracks if it’s too close to them. The perimeter wall is still an obstacle.
And if it’s a wall, it can’t detect what’s beyond, so knowing how to manage them closely wouldn’t be a problem. Adding an option to freely trace the boundaries closed by walls is just my idea.
I see what you mean. Yes, I would like the concept of virtual fences as a NGZ template. Some manufacturers have this. You could certainly apply it in this use case. Could also be beneficial for identifying gates for Yarbo to drive up to, stop, notify the user, and wait for permission to cross.
very good..we understand each other
Using the translator is not always easy to make yourself understood…you hit the nail on the head
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and observations on this. I can understand the idea you’re describing, especially regarding perimeter walls being treated more like obstacles even when GPS is available.
I’ll continue monitoring the community’s interest and feedback around this as well.
