About Burro

Burro is the leading robotics company in the world by number of robots working outdoors in the field with real customers. Our mission is to free people from tedious work and solve the critical labor shortages faced by farmers and others that work outdoors.

To accomplish our mission, we need a world-class, diverse team where everyone feels comfortable sharing their ideas. With this in mind, we strive to create a work environment where every employee can be themselves and express their perspective – this enables us to deliver the most creative and innovative solutions to problems our customers face.

Headquartered in Philadelphia with an office in central California, and backed by top Agtech and autonomy investors, including S2G, Catalyst, Translink, Cibus, FPrime, Toyota Ventures, FFVC, Xplorer, and Radicle, Burro was created to solve the labor shortages facing farmers using robotics.

Burros can be described as Disney's Wall-E for agriculture and work outdoors, in a 1.0 format. They function, today, as computer vision based autonomous ground vehicles for carrying, towing, and scouting, and are designed to lay the base for the fully autonomous future of work outdoors. We have 700+ robots in our growing fleet deployed in paid commercial use within vineyards, nurseries, berries, and beyond, and demand for our product is accelerating, so we are growing our team.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

Burro closed a $24M Series B in June 2026, signaling investor conviction.
Petitti Family Farms expanded Burro fleets in 2025 and 2026, proving repeatable deployments.
Grande 44 launched June 2026, opening industrial and outdoor markets beyond agriculture.

What critics are saying

Hardware scaling burns cash; June 2026’s $24M Series B finances limited runway.
Specialty-crop demand concentrates in grapes, berries, and nurseries, exposing Burro to adoption slowdowns.
John Deere, Kubota, and niche robotics rivals can outspend Burro before Grande 44 ships.

What makes Burro unique

Burro’s Pop-Up Autonomy targets rugged specialty-crop logistics, not generic row-crop autonomy.
Burro combines vision-based robots, GPS, and teach-and-repeat workflows for crews.
Burro’s portfolio now spans harvest assist, towing, transport, mowing, and spraying.

The 7 Biggest Farm Robotics Deals Of 2024 So Far

The farm robotics sector has shown some resilience in 2024 and continues to bring innovative products to market, despite the challenging year for fundraising. In the first half of 2024, the AgFunder-defined Farm Robotics, Mechanization, and Equipment category has raised nearly $399 million, a 21.1 % decline from $505.5 million in H1 2023. [Disclosure: AgFunderNews’ parent company is AgFunder.]. However, this drop needs to be considered in the context of a general investment contraction that has characterized the last 18 months. Overall agrifoodtech investment was also down in H1 2024: 12.5% compared to H1 2023. The drop in funding to the robotics sector is more or less in line with general trends
