The Burro Grande was designed with you in mind.
Designed to work alongside people to force-multiply their work, while constantly learning to do more, Burro pulls together innovative functions, including machine learning, high-precision GPS and Pop-Up Autonomy™, to create the first high-quality, autonomous platform that anyone can use.
Easy to implement, and easy for all to use
500 Burros have been sold to date, with systems in operation on 5 continents. Through this use, Burros have been perfected so that anyone, regardless of language or background, can put them to work seamlessly.
Set up Once, Run Forever – with BOSS PLUS
Pop-Up Autonomy™ is our patented approach to autonomy that allows Burros to work right out of the box. All Burro Grandes take this a step further – with BOSS PLUS. With BOSS PLUS you can map your site once, with road / traffic rules, indoors and outdoors. Then, all users on site can send Burros seamlessly.
Infinitely Capable, plus Tough.
Burros have been hardened in the real world over the past 9 years. In addition to serving as a platform, Burros can carry, tow, scout, patrol, mow, push, pull or propel a variety of attachments, and serve as a platform for manipulation.
Indoor and Outdoor Autonomy that Amplifies your team.
Burros use 24 sensors, including cameras, Lidar, and high-precision GPS, to navigate indoors and outdoors. Burros can run on “digital train tracks” through complex settings, all day long, even if GPS is not available. They use AI to understand their surroundings and safely travel through tall weeds and branches, and stopping for real obstacles and people.
And always getting smarter.
Once you train one Burro, share that knowledge across an entire fleet for immediate productivity gains and superior ease of use. Fleets are tracked online via a user-friendly dashboard, providing users command center level control. Plus, Burros receive Over the Air (OTA) updates with new software, capabilities and AI models every two weeks.
A Remote control for when you need to tell Burro who’s Boss
Burros have an available remote control, which is wireless, attached magnetically to systems, and weatherproof. With this control, you can connect burros to trailers, send them on autonomous routes, and set custom functions (smooth stops, speed up, etc.).
Advanced features for added layers of safety
Utilizing lidar, computer vision, high-precision GPS and AI
Operate using the technology of our original Burro, with the additional security of 360° obstacle detection using Lidar. Safety is our top priority, as shown in the redundancy of our safety features.

Burro Grande Options
Remote Control
Take control of your burro with precision using the remote control. Perfect for hitching and unhitching cart & tracking trailers or master steep slopes with the Cortador.
Specs
Tire Options
You can equip your Burros with a variety of tires to maximize the effectiveness of your fleet.
- In gravel, mud, and tough terrain, we recommend R1 Traction tires.
- For the best all around performance, we recommend our standard tires, whcih are an R3/4/hybrid style that balances traction with tread life.
- For towing on concrete, and for reduced turf wear, we havea a non marking tire that does not mark concrete, and also disturbs turf minimally.
Extended Battery Pack
Although standard Burro Grande typically gets the job done, for heavy duty mowing with the Cortador and long hauling with the Grande sometimes you just need some extra juice. With the extended battery pack you can get up to triple the battery life to conquer any task.
