False Obstacle Detection

Customer says: “Says there are obstacles but nothing there”, “Keeps stopping for no reason”, “Phantom obstacles”

Quick Checks (30 seconds)

• Is camera lens clean?
• Is this happening in channels/narrow areas?

Solutions

1. Clean Camera

Dirty camera lens causes false detections. See camera-cleaning.

2. Add NoStop Zone (if in channels)

Applies to

luba-2x | yuka-25 | yuka-mini-800 | luba-mini-awd-800 | luba-mini-awd-1500

For narrow passages where mower repeatedly stops:

• Create a NoStop Zone over the problem area
• See create-nostop-zone

Common Causes

• camera-module — Dirty lens
• Narrow channels triggering safety stops
• Shadows or lighting changes

Related Procedures

• camera-cleaning
• create-nostop-zone

Note

NoStop Zones tell the mower to ignore obstacle detection in that area. Only use in areas confirmed to be obstacle-free.
