Turning off boundary obstacle avoidance as Ben mentioned will help on the perimeter passes. I would also use “Gentle Contact” mode for obstacle avoidance (bumper only). Looks like you have a NGZ already, but make sure you create some for anything you aren’t comfortable with it bumping into to do the avoidance.
BTW, this is very common for all robotic mowers. Most have instructions that state you are to use your mower to mow the lawn down to the set cut height first, and then send the robot out to maintain that cut height. Pretty common for the razors. Those mowers will avoid tall grass too. Yarbo does recommend this too, but unlike some of the other mowers, they let you tweak the settings a lot to get around things like this.
Hi there, as others have mentioned, you can try turning off the Boundary Obstacle Avoidance mode and adjusting the Obstacle Avoidance setting to “Gentle Contact” to see if this helps reduce the behavior.
These settings may allow Yarbo to handle the area differently and improve the mowing performance in situations where grass is being incorrectly detected as an obstacle.
Change Moderate bypass to Gentle touch.
It should help.
Sad the official recommendation from yarbo is to turn off “features” we paid for and yarbo marketing touted as why yarbo is so great.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. Our team will continue to work on improving the visual recognition system to make it more reliable and effective in different environments.
Thank you for your feedback and patience as we continue to improve Yarbo.
