Burros are collaborative robots designed to help people work more productively today, while building the base for the automation where it is needed most. Our technology utilizes computer vision, high-precision GPS and AI to follow people and navigate autonomously from A to B while carrying, towing and scouting. Burros work immediately out of the box with no need for a central command or new infrastructure.
Burros can carry; tow; scout; patrol; pull, push or propel a variety of attachments; and serve as a platform for manipulation.
Burros unlock autonomy for anyone in seconds. Turn on and go.
Today, hundreds of Burros are at work across three continents. Burros support or serve as:

Pop Up Autonomy™ is our patent-pending approach that allows Burro to work immediately out of the box and enables everyone as an operator with no need for a central command or new infrastructure.
Pop-Up Autonomy™ allows one trained Burro to share knowledge across an entire fleet of Burros for immediate productivity gains and superior ease of use. Fleets of Burros are tracked online via a user-friendly dashboard, providing users with command center-level control.
Burro robots use both computer vision and high-precision GPS to learn and teach themselves to navigate new environments. This means that Burros can run on “digital train tracks” through complex settings, all day long, even if GPS is not available.
Burros utilize AI to understand their surroundings and safely travel through tall weeds and branches, while also stopping for real obstacles.
Burros are IP65 rated and designed to operate all day long in 110 F / 40+ C temperatures all day, while taking abuse inherent to real-world field conditions.
Burros feature on-board 120V chargers. When you need more power, users can swap batteries in minutes, with no tools required.
Burros are built with field use in mind. The only components requiring service are batteries, motor brushes and occasional tire replacements. If a component requires replacement, it can be completed without tools quickly and easily.
Two Burros fit easily in a six-foot pickup truck bed. Six Burros fit on a standard 16-foot trailer.
Burros are shipped in packs of one or six. For order of 70 or more, Burros are sent in a shipping container.
Burros serve as the backbone for fully autonomous work outdoors. With power and data, online connectivity and vision-centric mobility and perception, Burros are designed to provide ever-more capability and to support partnering companies.
