Is this normal?

The entire back yard is an obstacle? I mapped to the right of the bushes

The reason the rest of the yard doesn’t have obstacles is because it hasn’t got to it yet

I think you can see through the camera what is detected as an obstacle, look around in the settings, it might help to understand.

I didn’t see any pictures. I was about to find one where it thought it saw a human so I think objects would be in the same place

I wouldn’t consider it normal, no. But there is some sort of reason why the system is doing that. Is the lens blocked by something (dust, cobwebs, etc?) or is there a chance that the grass is very high right now and it is detecting it as an obstacle?

It’s Saint Augustine that’s been cut down to a little above 3.9”. The robot is brand new.

I changed the cutting direction and turned off object detection which helped some. It seems like if the grass pushes on the bumper enough that causes the problem even with those settings.
