Ag is hard! If it isn't a drought, it's a flood. If it isn't a wildfire, it's a hurricane. Commodity prices, disease, pests, changing regulations, labor laws, immigration. We dare you to think of an industry that's forced to deal with more challenges - things that are entirely beyond your control - than agriculture. Yet, here we are. But really... is there an industry out there as tough as ag?

Autonomous farming begins with collaborative Burro robots
About us
Our mission is to solve the crushing labor problem faced by farmers today, by making collaborative robots a reality. To do this, we are starting first with Burro. Burro is a robotic platform that follows people and can autonomously run cargo around, relieving people of strenuous tasks which add little value, so that they can focus on more valuable work.

Where is the next 𝐑𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧? 🤖 The global #agriculture market is a $𝟒.𝟓 𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 that is expected to grow another trillion in the next 5 years. #Robotics will create a significant impact on this transformation. The first transformation of agriculture could be said to have 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐢𝐧 𝟏𝟕𝟗𝟑 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐠𝐢𝐧, later followed by the steam and gasoline tractor. But today, all eyes are on the impact of technology and how that will affect farming. In the video below, you can see multiple examples of companies designing indoor and outdoor #robot solutions for use in agriculture. 🔹Harvest CROO Robotics 🔹 Ecorobotix 🔹 Farm-ng 🔹 Burro 🔹 FarmWise 🔹 Organifarms 🔹 Tortuga AgTech 🔹 Carbon Robotics 🔹 VitiBot If you want to learn more about this industry and what #innovation is happening in the robotics space, check out RoboBusiness, happening this October at the 𝐒𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐚 𝐂𝐥𝐚𝐫𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫.

We’d like to introduce you to our robotics suite for the nursery and greenhouse grower industry. We’ve been working with customers in this space for several years. With that in mind, we’d like to thank Ken Altman and the Altman Plants team for their support. But yesterday at #cultivate24 (by AmericanHort) marked Burro's official in-person launch in the industry. And what a day it was! Hundreds of insightful attendees got hands-on with Burro Grande, Burro, and our new user interface designed specifically for nursery operators. We talked use cases, workflows, partnerships, and interesting ways that our technology can help our customers begin to revolutionize their operations. Then we celebrated with a couple hundred friends at Beers With Burro 🍻 🫏 We’re proud and grateful to serve this industry. Thank you for your partnership! #agtech #robotics #horticulture #goodburro

Today's the day! Come join us at Whistle & Keg after the show from 5:30-7:30p. All #cultivate24 attendees are invited. Don't be shy! 50 beers, wine, ciders, and cocktails on tap... and all on us! It's a fun self-serve setup, where you can try them a couple ounces at a time or go full pint 🍺

Day 1 of the #Cultivate’24 trade show is sure to be a whirlwind! To unwind and celebrate all things horticulture, nursery, greenhouse - we're hosting a casual customer happy hour for all attendees. Join us for drinks on Sunday from 5:30-7:30p at Whistle & Keg (only a 5-min walk from Cultivate). There’ll be friends, there’ll be colleagues, there’ll be drinks, there’ll be a robot donkey 🤖 🫏… Great times all around! We can't wait to see you there! P.S. Spread the word and tag your fellow attendees in the comments below! #CustomerAppreciation #HappyHour #agtech #robotics #goodburro

We can’t wait to see you at Cultivate’24 this weekend! In the meantime, we hope you’ll… Get To Know Burro We pride ourselves on working hand-in-hand with our customers to develop our tech. It’s a partnership with the agriculture industry. It has to be! AgTech can’t be developed in a lab. That partnership extends beyond those of us here on LinkedIn. There also must be a partnership with the farmworkers who rely on us. Technology like ours will succeed or fail, depending on our ability to serve the team on the ground. Farmworkers require technology that’s practical, durable, and easy-to-use. We’re committed to meeting that standard, no matter how complex it may be under the hood. Holding ourselves to that standard has allowed us to deploy over 350 Burros worldwide. We’ve run over 400,000 hours of autonomous operation. We’ve logged over 90,000 autonomous miles in operation. And we’re growing FAST… But we can’t do it without you! 👏 Visit us at Booth 504 to talk getting started at your nursery or greenhouse operation. #goodburro #agtech #robotics #ai

Happy International Robot Day, from all of us at Burro! And from all of our Burros deployed worldwide 🤖 🫏 We gave them the day off. Figured it's the least we can do to celebrate Int'l Robot Day... P.S. Thank you to our friends at Apptronik for the heads up on IRD 👋🏽 Don't tell the Burros, but somehow we missed it on our calendar 😬 #goodburro #robotics #agtech

Curious about field robotics in agriculture? Check out this podcast featuring ag robotics specialist Chuck Baresich. Here are some highlights: [1:12] Robotics adoption will be much faster than tractors & automobiles, taking 10 years instead of 50. [8:04] A major challenge is translating generational knowledge or “farm kid smarts” into software. Documenting second-nature skills is tough. [12:48] Autonomous farm vehicles will optimize current worker time, not replace them. No farm has excess labour. Interested in seeing these machines in action or speaking with Chuck? Join the demonstrations in Bradford on July 4th and Simcoe on July 11th. Message or comment for registration links.
