Vue d'ensemble technologique
- Dernière révision : 18/06/2026
- Date de sortie commerciale : January, 2024
- Application : Burro Grande is a multi-purpose platform that eliminates the labor of carting and hauling at vegetable seed nurseries. It autonomously tows wagon trains between greenhouse bays — or follows workers hands-free, carrying loads up to 1,000 lbs on its open deck or towing up to 5,000 lbs of trailers. Crews move more product without pushing a single cart, and one operator can keep multiple Burros in motion at once. With optional attachments, Burro can mow and precision spot spray — taking labor out of vegetation management, and reducing human exposure to chemicals.

Performance & Impact Économique
- ROI estimé :
Typical payback under two years for tow- and haul-heavy operations; varies with operation size and local labor costs. Primary driver is replacing the repetitive manual transport labor that consumes 20–40% of farm and nursery hours. Burro’s ROI calculator (burro.ai/calculator) models tow, mow, spray, and spray+mow scenarios.
- Économies de produits phytosanitaires :
Cuts the labor of pushing carts and shuttling trays. One Grande autonomously tows multiple loaded wagons between greenhouse bays, replacing trip after trip of manual transport. Customer feedback from a vegetable seed nursery deployment: “Burro has been working great and implementing it into movement has been smooth. Guys got it down pretty darn fast.”
- Amélioration du rendement :
Indirect — with towing taken off their plate, crews spend more time on seedling care, picking, scouting, and other higher-value work. Faster bay-to-bay cycle times reduce handling delays and worker fatigue, which protects throughput on the days that count most.

Fonctionnalités et technologies
- Fonctionnalité principale : Burro Grande tackles two of the five most ubiquitous jobs on any site — haul and tow. At vegetable seed nurseries it autonomously tows wagon trains between greenhouse bays; out in the field it uses Burro’s patented Pop-up Autonomy™ to instantly follow workers hands-free (no wearable required) for harvest assist and temporary jobs, or run pre-mapped waypoint routes for repeatable missions. Carries up to 1,000 lbs (454 kg) on its open deck, with a standard 2" (5cm) receiver hitch that tows up to 5,000 lbs (2,268 kg). The same platform extends to the other three jobs through Burro’s attachment ecosystem: Cortador (brush mowing) and Sprayito (precision spot spraying, up to 75% chemical savings), plus patrolling and live fleet visibility through BOSS, Burro’s multifunction robot operating system. One operator can run multiple Burros at once. 700+ Burros deployed globally — 300+ are Grande 15s working in production today.
- Logiciel : Stereo vision cameras (person-following and obstacle detection); 3D LiDAR; GPS/GNSS for autonomous waypoint navigation; IMU; LTE/4G cellular modem; WiFi; four-wheel independent brushless DC drives; onboard AI compute; BOSS cloud platform for fleet management, OTA software/autonomy updates, and site mapping.
- Connectivité : Self-propelled — no tractor required. Requires LTE/4G cellular for BOSS fleet management (remote monitoring, waypoint programming, OTA updates). No dedicated base station needed. High-Precision GPS integrated via BOSS for autonomous navigation and mapping.
- Outils compatibles : Open flat-deck (1.2 m × 1.0 m usable) for farm bins, seedling trays, harvest lugs, crates and spray tanks, up to 1,000 lbs (454 kg). Standard 2" (5cm) receiver hitch tows trailers and equipment up to 5,000 lbs (2,268 kg) on hard, flat surfaces. Burro attachment ecosystem: Cortador brush-mower attachment (mowing) and Sprayito precision spot sprayer (spot-spray with up to 75% chemical savings). Third-party attachments can attach and communicate via our open APIs.
Plan de développement
- Prochaine phase de développement : Grande 15 is a production product, generally available, with 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 and breadth of jobs each robot can take on, alongside an expanding ecosystem of Burro attachments (Cortador for mowing, Sprayito for precision spraying).
