​

🌟 What’s New

• Experimental – Improved Obstacle Avoidance
  Smoother paths and faster response when avoiding obstacles in dockyards only. Not yet supported in Nurseries with trailers.

• Looped Missions
  Define repeatable tasks so your robot can automatically run the same mission multiple times.

• Task Transitions
  Choose whether the Burro should move on by itself or wait for a manual instruction from a field operator. Two types: Auto (waits, then continues) and Manual (operator taps Start).

​

🔧 Fixes & Refinements

• Mower turns on correctly after a route loads, and “clear stops” work as expected.
• Resolved issues causing unexpected stops due to traffic management database getting filled up.
• Charging/discharging sound effects have been silenced for quieter operation.

​

🌟 What’s New

• Enhanced Obstacle Detection
  LiDAR checks now combine camera input, reducing false positives and improving safety.

• Improvements for Range Expansion Pack
  Support for multiple battery configurations with the range expansion pack.

• AprilTags Database Upgrade
  Tag positions now use latitude, longitude, and altitude (LLA) for better mapping and no rollback path.

​

🔧 Fixes & Refinements

• Speaker Audio
  Robot’s speaker is now unmuted—hear all alerts and status updates.
• CPU Fault Reporting
  Improved thresholds ensure true hardware issues get flagged correctly.
• Job Builder Toggle
  You can now turn off the advanced job builder if you prefer the classic interface.

​

⭐️ Important Updates
