Burro develops autonomous robots capable of performing a range of agricultural tasks such as towing, load carrying, mowing, spraying, and monitoring. The company primarily targets specialty crop operations, particularly in fruit, vegetable, and industrial sectors, seeking a versatile, quickly deployable multi-task platform adaptable to a wide range of field activities.

Harvesting
Vue d'ensemble technologique
- Dernière révision : 03/07/2026
- Date de sortie commerciale : 2017
- Application : The Burro follows pickers, carrying loads to the headland so harvest crews never stop. Outside of harvest, Burro doubles as a mobility platform for scouting, monitoring, and third-party attachments built on Burro’s open API.
Vue d'ensemble de commercialisation
- Niveau de préparation technologique : 10: Introduction sur le marché - Pleine opération commerciale
- Unité en service - Global : Over 300
- Modèle économique : Direct sales / Distributor network / RaaS (Robot as a service) / Leasing
- Prix : <$50k
- Coûts de fonctionnement : BOSS autonomy subscription (annual). Covers warranty, OTA software / autonomy updates, and live fleet visibility.
Couverture du marché, distributeurs et fournisseurs de services
- Pays ou marchés adressés :
Currently Australia, New Zealand, North America (United States, Canada, Mexico), South America (Peru, Chile, Brazil, Colombia) and Asia (Japan) & expanding!
Performance & Impact Économique
- ROI estimé :
Typical payback inside one year for harvest-assist deployments. One Burro offsets roughly 30% of the labour for a six-person hand-harvest crew, by removing the trips to the headland that pickers otherwise make to drop off lugs.
- Économies de produits phytosanitaires :
N/A
- Amélioration du rendement :
Indirect — pickers stay focused on the crop, so more fruit ends up in lugs and less time is lost to walkbacks. Faster cycle times through the block reduce the risk of over-ripening or weather-driven losses on peak picking days.

Fonctionnalités et technologies
- Fonctionnalité principale : Built for outdoor conditions (IP65, heat, dust, moisture) with high-traction tyres, it supports fleet management and OTA updates via the BOSS system. One operator can supervise multiple units. Deployed at scale (700+ units), Burro improves productivity by eliminating walking and carrying, allowing pickers to stay in-row and work faster, while remaining versatile for multiple transport tasks throughout the season.
- Logiciel : 12-camera stereo vision system (4 × stereo cameras, person-following and obstacle detection); RTK GPS (NTRIP-compatible) for outdoor autonomous navigation; IMU; 4G LTE cellular modem; WiFi; 4 × right-angle drive brushed motors; all-onboard CPU/GPU compute; zero-ingress forced-air cooling; front and rear bumper bars / safety edges; LED area lighting; audio cues; 7" (28 cm) 1000-nit LCD touchscreen interface; BOSS cloud platform for fleet management, OTA software / autonomy updates, and site mapping.
- Connectivité : Self-propelled — no tractor required. Requires 4G LTE cellular for BOSS fleet management (remote monitoring, route programming, OTA updates). No dedicated base station needed — Burro works immediately out of the box. High-precision RTK GPS (NTRIP-compatible) integrated via BOSS for autonomous outdoor navigation.
- Outils compatibles : Open flat-deck (36" × 47.8" / 92 × 121 cm slatted steel tray) with a removable top tray that holds stacked bins in place — sized for picking lugs, harvest trays, packing crates, and tools up to 500 lbs (226 kg). Burro’s open API allows third parties to build custom attachments and integrations on the platform.
Plan de développement
- Prochaine phase de développement : Burro is a production product, generally available, with over 300 units in commercial use as part of a 700+ Burro fleet worldwide. The roadmap is continuous: OTA software and autonomy updates delivered through BOSS keep growing the capability set.
