Harvesting
Vue d'ensemble technologique
- Dernière révision : 18/06/2026
- Date de sortie commerciale : 2017
- Application : Burro amplifies harvest crews. It takes the labor out of carrying lugs, trays, and bins out of the row — Burro autonomously follows pickers hands-free (no wearable required), then carries full loads to the headland so the crew never has to stop picking. One operator can keep multiple Burros in motion across the block at once. Outside of harvest, Burro doubles as a mobility platform for scouting, monitoring, and third-party attachments built on Burro’s open API.

Performance & Impact Économique
- ROI estimé :
Typical payback inside one year for harvest-assist deployments. One Burro offsets roughly 30% of the labor 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 :
Cuts the unproductive walking and lug-carrying that consumes a meaningful share of a picker’s day. With Burro following the crew, pickers stay in the row, fill more lugs per hour, and finish the block faster. The same Burro can be retasked between harvest and other carrying jobs through the season — one robot, many jobs, no extra labor.
- 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 : Burro is a collaborative robot designed for harvest assist in specialty crops. It uses Burro’s patented Pop-up Autonomy™ to follow pickers hands-free (no wearable required), run pre-mapped waypoint routes for repeatable trips, or navigate rows using vision-based row following — all without a central command, a base station, or new infrastructure. Built tough for outdoor work: IP65 sealing, all-conditions operation in heat, moisture and dust, and R1 lugged tyres for traction across pavement, mud, dirt and sand. Fleet management, and over-the-air software updates are delivered through BOSS, Burro’s multifunction robot operating system. One operator can run multiple Burros at once. 700+ Burros deployed globally; over 300 are namesake Burros working in production today.
- 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.

The Maverick
To reduce the use of chemicals and to reduce costly labor.8300 Lattuga
The Ortomec 8300 Lattuga self-propelled harvester primarily addresses the need to automate and accelerate the harvesting of head lettuce directly in the field, while completely eliminating damage to the crop. Equipped with a millimetric, gentle cutting system and a large onboard working platform, it allows operators to clean, select, and pack the lettuce immediately after it is cut. This eliminates strenuous manual labor on the ground and ensures maximum hygiene and freshness for immediate distribution.
