Yarbo at CES 2026: Advancing Modular Yard Robotics into a Mainstream Smart Home Solution

At CES 2026, Yarbo is making it clear that the future of outdoor automation lies beyond single-purpose machines. The company is using the world’s largest technology stage to present its vision for a scalable, AI-powered yard robot system—one designed to integrate seamlessly into everyday home life.

The debut of the Yarbo M Series represents a significant expansion of that vision. Compact, modular, and engineered for year-round use, the M Series brings Yarbo’s advanced yard robotics technology to a broader residential audience. Rather than positioning CES as a simple product launch, Yarbo is using the event to communicate how its modular platform is evolving into a long-term solution for smart outdoor living.

Complementing its CES presence, Yarbo is preparing a Kickstarter launch in February, offering early adopters an opportunity to participate in the first official rollout of the M Series and contribute to its ongoing development.

Scaling a Proven Platform for Residential Adoption

Yarbo’s 2025 Version established the technical backbone of its yard robot system. Built for large properties and intensive workloads, it demonstrated the practicality of combining modular hardware with AI-driven navigation and all-season performance.

The M Series translates that same architecture into a more compact and accessible form, optimized for standard residential yards across North America and Europe. By retaining its modular design while reducing size and complexity, Yarbo is expanding its platform from specialized use cases into a solution suitable for everyday homeowners.

This shift reflects Yarbo’s broader strategy: scaling a single, intelligent robotics platform rather than developing isolated products for different market segments.

A Smarter Approach to Year-Round Yard Care

Traditional robotic mowers are typically limited to one task and one season. The Yarbo M Series takes a platform-first approach, functioning as a multi-purpose yard robot system designed for consistent use throughout the year.

Modularity at the Center

The Yarbo Core acts as the system’s intelligent foundation, supporting a growing range of interchangeable modules. Homeowners can customize their setup based on seasonal needs and expand functionality over time.

Current supported modules include:

  • Mower Module
  • Collector Module
  • Trimmer Module
  • Plow Blade Module

In addition, the system supports capabilities such as towing, patrol, dragging, and follow-me modes, extending its usefulness beyond basic lawn maintenance.

AI-powered control enables autonomous navigation, obstacle detection, and optimized route planning, allowing the robot to operate effectively in complex outdoor environments.

Simple Setup, Autonomous Performance

Despite its advanced capabilities, the M Series is designed for straightforward installation. Initial setup typically takes around 30 minutes, requiring RTK data center placement, network connectivity, and app-based yard mapping.

Once configured, the robot operates independently—managing scheduled tasks and returning to its wireless charging station as needed without constant supervision.

Compact Design, High Capability

The M Series combines a small footprint with impressive performance. Its tracked design enables it to handle slopes of up to 35° (70%), making it suitable for varied terrain and uneven landscapes.

A 6-TOPS AI processor, paired with an advanced nRTK and vision-based 3D perception system, allows for precise, wire-free navigation. With a towing capacity of up to 220 lbs (100 kg), the system supports a wide range of outdoor tasks beyond mowing.

A Community-Driven Launch via Kickstarter

Yarbo’s decision to introduce the M Series through Kickstarter reflects a commitment to user-driven innovation. Early supporters gain access to the system while providing valuable real-world feedback that will influence future software updates, module expansions, and system refinements.

Rather than a static product release, the M Series is positioned as an evolving platform designed to improve continuously through community engagement.

Shaping the Next Generation of Yard Automation

With the M Series, Yarbo is advancing its mission to redefine outdoor living through AI intelligence, modular robotics, and scalable design. By delivering all-season yard management in a compact and accessible system, the company is closing the gap between advanced robotics and everyday residential use.

Yarbo will present this vision at CES 2026, exhibiting at Booth #51232 in the Venetian Expo, Halls A–D, Level 2.
