Does anyone have experience with Yarbo?

Yarbo is one of those companies that seems to have been around for a couple of years but we know nothing about? I have never seen one in person. Automated track mowing seems very interesting, as does changing implements. Does anyone have any experience with Yarbo? Opinions? Videos?

No grass is growing yet, but impressions of drive system;

Very much like a walker mower, spring assisted deck, articulates side to side and front to back. Really hugs contours, something all big robot mowers really struggle with currently. Doesn’t bounce off slopes, transitions smoothly.

Working on new “turning system” where it doesn’t actually turn, but alternates front to back from stripe to stripe. Ie, drives in reverse. Should limit damage and speed up turns.

When lined up against other mowers, build quality really stands out. Feels like this was designed by engineers and not bean counting MBAs.

Just saw them at CES for the first time. Honestly, I thought they were like all the other Kickstarter lawn robot companies. Similar to Mammotion though, they’ve stuck around and improved. The build quality does seem really good. It’s got remote control mode, which I like and the fact that it’s multi modal is nice. I might pick up a demo unit. We’ll see how the spring rush goes. If not, I’ll advocate that one of my back east franchisees that gets snow to test this out. I could see a fleet of these doing snow removal in a parking lot autonomously. Technically, they would work something like a drop and go too. Last things that stood out is swappable batteries and a wireless pad to charge of.

Not nearly efficient enough for a parking lot. Would be a nightmare. Good for 0 tolerance sidewalks maybe, city hall, hospitals… the tele-control would be pretty handy.

Is that just for snow removal? It seems like this brand could be good for northern regions where you can use the equipment year round, but other than that I am struggling to see the impact. Plus there is just nothing on price and testing of the product.
