The Yarbo Modular Yard Robot is an autonomous property maintenance solution engineered with modularity at its core to work on a year-round basis to perform essential tasks on grounds. The robot leverages machine vision and artificial intelligence (AI) to train its navigation systems and real-time mapping framework, while advanced sensors work to prioritize safety. The system is rated to be used with different modules that includes a lawn mower, snowblower, trimmer and more to achieve a hands-off maintenance experience for property owners.
The Yarbo Modular Yard Robot harnesses the advanced technologies of RTK-GPS and NetRTK positioning to achieve centimeter-level accuracy during operation. The system is rated to be completely customized via the accompanying app as a nod to the increasing interest in maintenance robots that prioritize automation, but that still acknowledge customization.
