Burro
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.

Burro solves severe labour shortages in agriculture and outdoor industrial yards. Our solution is a fleet of autonomous, electric workhorses that haul, tow, spray, and mow alongside crews without complex infrastructure. Built for growers, nurseries, and solar and depot logistics teams, Burro boosts site productivity while cutting emissions. Our differentiator is vision-first autonomy—powered by AI, LiDAR, and cameras—enabling plug-and-play setup and dynamic navigation in complex outdoor terrain.
