Yarbo Snow Blower – Modular Yard Care Robot

During the Winter and even early Spring, many US states get a considerable amount of snow every year. Depending on where you live, a snow blower can be either a nice luxury or an absolute necessity. While using a decent snow shovel might do the trick for removing snow from small sets of stairs and short walkways, using a snow blower for clearing out snow from large areas like a wide-open driveway or patio undoubtedly makes that task significantly faster while also eliminating the back-breaking effort that would be needed otherwise. Therefore, if you live in a region that gets several feet of snow each year and you have a wide driveway, sidewalk or patio, then having a snow blower that can handle several inches of snow is definitely worth the investment. For the latest tech in snow-clearing gadgets, it doesn’t get much better than the Yarbo Snow Blower, which has a wide range of incredible snow removal capabilities.

The Yarbo Snow Blower is an intelligent autonomous modular yard care robot designed to adapt to all your outdoor needs, featuring an innovative modular design that allows it to be converted between a 2-stage snow blower, a lawn mower, and a leaf blower. The robot’s core unit has a robust IPX6 Waterproof construction and comes equipped with all-terrain rubber tracks and powerful motors that make it capable of effortlessly climbing slopes up to 36%. Its 2-stage snow blower module comes equipped with a bumper, a hard rubber auger offering 21″ cleaning width and 12″ intake height, a flexible snow chute with an adjustable deflection angle from 18º to 62º, an adjustable rotation between 0º and 180°, and a throwing distance from 6 ft. up to 40 ft., while also integrating a Precise Positioning Vision System powered by smart obstacle avoidance technology and advanced AI algorithms which respectively allow it to spot obstacles around it and automatically navigate complex environments with minimal human intervention.

The robot also boasts 4G, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, a temperature-resistant 38.4Ah 36V Lithium-Ion battery that allows it to operate in high and low temperatures for approximately 1.5 hours and makes it capable of clearing 6,000 sq. ft. for 1″ of snow or 2,000 sq. ft. for 5″ of snow on a single charge, plus a wireless auto recharging function. Via the Yarbo App, users can monitor and control its operation, check its battery status and also schedule snow clearing.

Unlike traditional gas-powered snow blowers which require you to push them around making them physically demanding to handle, this smart autonomous modular yard care robot frees you from the traditional back-breaking tasks that’s typically required for clearing out snow.

Now, let’s have a more detailed look at the Yarbo Snow Blower and go over the many awesome features that this autonomous modular yard care robot has to offer you.

DESIGN & SPECS

Starting with the robot’s size, this autonomous modular yard care robot has a fairly compact size, allowing it to fit and go through small trails without getting stuck such as a home’s front walk as well sidewalks.

The Yarbo Snow Blower also sports an ultra-modern design, for which both its core unit and its snow blower module come in an “outdoorsy” Black and Yellow pattern that gives it a stylish and high-tech look. Know that the other available models for this smart autonomous modular yard care robot also feature the same Black-Yellow color pattern.

Still speaking of its design, it’s important to note that while the Yarbo Snow Blower specifically combines its core robotic unit together with a 2-stage snow blower module, this autonomous modular yard care robot was designed to adapt to all your outdoor needs. For that, the robot takes advantage of an innovative modular design that allows it to be seamlessly converted between a 2-stage snow blower, a lawn mower, and a leaf blower, making it a versatile yard care tool for every season of the year.

Furthermore, both the robot’s core unit and its snow blower module also pack a robust construction, as each chassis is built of a highly durable TPU plastic material.

What’s more is that both the robot’s main body and its snow blower module are also rated to have a IPX6 Waterproof Rating, which qualifies the whole device as being capable of withstand harsh weather conditions like heavy rain and snow.

Moving on to the Yarbo Snow Blower’s main components. For its movement, the robot’s core unit comes equipped with a set of wide all-terrain rubber tracks that make it capable of moving through various types of terrain, including paved surfaces as well as snow-covered flat terrain (excluding gravel and dirt surfaces).

More importantly, its all-terrain rubber tracks are powered by a set of powerful DC brushless motors, which makes the robot capable of effortlessly climbing slopes up to 36%.

In addition to the robot’s core unit, there’s also its 2-stage snow blower module, which comes equipped with a hard rubber auger that offers a cleaning width up to 21 inches and an intake height of 12 inches for snow clearing. The robot’s rubberized auger is strong enough to clear through dry, wet and even packed snow.

The robot’s snow blower module also comes equipped with a built-in bumper (installed at its front-side directly above its auger) which helps protect the internal components from its core unit and module from getting damaged by unexpected bumps.

Integrated at the very top of its 2-stage snow blower module, there’s also a flexible snow chute which has an adjustable deflection angle varying from 18º to 62º and an adjustable rotation varying between 0º and 180°.

Moreover, its snow chute also has a throwing distance that can be set from 6 ft. all the way up to 40 ft., making it powerful enough to ensure that snow lands exactly where you want it to.

Lastly, for its autonomous operation, the core unit that from this intelligent modular yard care robot also integrates a Precise Positioning Vision System (PPVS) comprising an ultrasonic radar and 3 binocular cameras.

The robot’s ultrasonic radar and binocular cameras leverage are powered by smart obstacle avoidance technology which allows it to spot anything within 5 ft. ahead and 16 ft. on the sides, thus ensuring safety for people and pets at all times, while also leveraging advanced AI algorithms that make it capable of automatically navigating complex environments while performing its yard maintenance tasks (i.e. clearing snow, in the case of this snow blower module) with minimal human intervention.

SET UP / INSTALLATION

When it comes to setting up this autonomous 2-stage snow blower robot, know that all you have to do is to connect its charging station to power, then charge it up its battery, and then configure its operation through its mobile app.

CONNECTIVITY

For establishing a wireless connection with its mobile app, the Yarbo Snow Blower utilizes 4G connectivity, as well as Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity.

BATTERY & BATTERY LIFE

For its power, the robot’s core unit comes equipped with a high-capacity 38.4Ah 36V Lithium-Ion battery which is rated to have a temperature-resistant construction, ensuring the robot can have an efficient operation in both high and low temperatures between -13°F to 113°F (-25°C to 45°C).

The robot’s high-capacity battery offers users a long battery life of approximately 1.5 hours, allowing it to clear around 6,000 sq. ft. for 1-inch of snow or 2,000 sq. ft. for 5 inches of snow on a single charge.

Best of all, the robot also features a wireless auto recharging function, which makes it capable of automatically returning to its dedicated docking station (i.e. its charging station) when its battery is detected to be low on power.

It takes exactly 3 hours for the robot’s battery to fully recharge.
