¶ Turning Mode
- There are three turning modes available to help navigate different lawn shapes:
¶ Smart Turn
- This mode involves a precise 3-step maneuver, perfect for wide, open spaces. While it causes less strain on the grass, it takes more time to complete.
¶ U-Turn
- When selected, the Yarbo will make a large U-turn, reducing turning time compared to the Smart Turn, but it may be less gentle on the lawn.
¶ Zero Turn
- The most efficient turning mode, ideal for tight spaces. However, it may be less gentle on the lawn compared to other modes
¶ Note
Turn modes are automatically adjusted in specific situations. For example:
- Spiral Mode disables U-Turn and enforces Smart Turn.
- In tight spaces or when the rear camera detects obstacles, Yarbo will automatically switch to Zero Turn for maneuverability (e.g., when the path is narrower than one Yarbo length).
- Deadends – If a turn is required within a deadend, Zero Turn is used.
- Sharp Turns – When the required turning angle falls outside the range of 70–110 degrees, Yarbo defaults to Zero Turn as a safety measure.
- U-Turn Mode – Has a turning radius of only half the path width, which can resemble a zero-turn effect in tight areas.
