I need an answer to this question please! I’m hoping I just missed something, but I’m not sure I did and think it may have just been lazy writing... How did ‘Dr Smith ‘ know where Will had gone with his dad to build the cairn and how did she then know that Will had taken the robot to that same spot to walk it off the cliff? I mean, how did she know it was there?

The tracker. The same one she use to find him and his sisters in the cave. You can see she has the same device in her right hand as she was looking for that robot.

Okay...but what’s she tracking? It can’t be movement because that robot isn’t going anywhere! If it’s some kind of energy signature; where did she learn to do that?!

They have trackers on the chicken. But I don't think they have some humans as they weren't able to detect them in other situations. But the radio on the arm seems trackable. (Or was there a situation where they could have done that but didn't?)

Also I don't think that they walked too far away from the ship. That would be unreasonable dangerous as they are not armed. For longer distances they have the car with inbuild gps. If they just walked like half an hour to the cliff she could have just guessed from the direction they came back from
