The Yarbo Core is the central, heavy-duty intelligent drive unit that serves as the "brain and muscle" of the Yarbo automated yard maintenance system. Instead of buying separate robots for different seasons, the Yarbo Core remains the permanent base while you swap out attachments (mower, snow blower, or leaf blower) to handle year-round tasks.
Drive System & Physical Design
Built to navigate rugged, unpredictable outdoor environments, the Core is designed more like a miniature industrial vehicle than a consumer appliance.
Tracked Drive System: Uses heavy-duty rubber tracks rather than wheels. This provides superior traction, allowing it to navigate mud, deep snow, uneven turf, and loose gravel.
Slope Climbing: Easily climbs steep inclines up to 36% (approx. 20 degrees) without slipping.
Weather Resistance: Features a rugged, durable shell with an IPX6 waterproof rating, meaning it can operate in heavy rain or blizzards and can be hosed down for cleaning.
Navigation & Intelligence
The Core houses all of the advanced positioning systems, computing hardware, and safety sensors required for fully autonomous operation.
PPK-RTK Navigation: Uses a wire-free GPS system combined with a local RTK base station. This delivers centimeter-level positioning accuracy without the need to bury boundary wires around your property.
Multi-Sensor Fusion: Combines RTK-GPS with internal IMUs, odometer sensors, and active radar to maintain its orientation even if GPS signals are temporarily blocked by thick tree canopies or tall buildings.
Obstacle Avoidance: Equipped with a triple-vision system (dual stereo cameras and a front camera) alongside ultrasonic sensors to detect and safely navigate around people, pets, toys, and property structures in real time.
Power & Autonomy
As an autonomous machine, the Core manages its own power and workflow.
Battery Power: Powered by a high-capacity, cold-resistant lithium-ion battery designed to operate reliably in sub-zero winter temperatures or peak summer heat.
Auto-Docking: Automatically navigates back to its wireless charging station when the battery runs low, recharges, and then resumes its work right where it left off.
Smart App Control: Houses the cellular and Wi-Fi modules that connect to the Yarbo app, allowing users to draw virtual boundaries, establish keep-out zones, customize schedules, and monitor the robot remotely.
