A robot that has fascinated me for several years now is the Yarbo. When I first saw this company they were on Kickstarter.com and at the time it was a their pipe dream (like most things on there:) Fast forward to the end of 2024, and Yarbo has these units in the hands of Youtuber and product reviewers…. and I’m impressed. A least at the concept.
Yarbo is an innovative, multifunctional yard care robot designed to handle various outdoor maintenance tasks throughout the year. Its modular design allows users to attach different modules to the core unit, enabling functionalities such as lawn mowing, snow blowing, and leaf blowing.
Key Features:
- Modular Design: The Yarbo system consists of a core unit that connects to various modules, each tailored for specific tasks. The Core model is claimed to be able to tow an astonishing 3500lb!!
- Currently available modules:
- Lawn Mower Module: Capable of mowing up to 6.2 acres with adjustable cutting heights ranging from 1.2 to 4 inches.
- Snow Blower Module: Designed to clear snow, throwing it up to 40 feet away, and can handle various snow conditions.
- Leaf Blower Module: Generates air velocities up to 190 mph, efficiently clearing leaves and debris.
- Autonomous Operation: Equipped with multiple cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and GPS technology, Yarbo navigates and maps your yard without the need for boundary wires. It can autonomously return to its charging station when the battery is low.
- All-Weather Capability: Designed to operate in various weather conditions, including low temperatures, ensuring year-round functionality. The device’s cameras are heated to prevent obstruction from snow or ice.
- User Control and Monitoring: The Core Unit comes with a nice physical Remote Controller for manually controlling the Core unit. You can also download the Yarbo smartphone app. With this users can manually control the robot, set schedules, adjust module settings, and receive real-time updates. The app also provides a video feed from the robot’s cameras for monitoring purposes.
