Burro

Burro (founded in 2017 as Augean Robotics; headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with a Western office in Visalia, California; founder and CEO Charlie Andersen) makes outdoor autonomous wheeled ground carts that follow workers and run autonomous point-to-point routes, using a vision-first system the company calls Pop-Up Autonomy that needs no central command or pre-installed infrastructure, with RTK-GPS and lidar as options. The robot originated hauling table grapes and expanded into berries and nursery crops. The registry records it at commercial maturity: at its January 2024 Series B the company reported more than 300 robots in paid commercial use across 40-plus customers in six countries, with over 75,000 autonomous miles, and by October 2025 reported more than 800,000 autonomous hours, with anchor customer Petitti Family Farms scaling from ten to twenty-five Burro Grande units during 2025. The product line spans the base Burro, which carries about 500 pounds and tows roughly 1,000 to 2,000 pounds, and the larger Burro Grande, which carries up to 1,500 pounds and tows up to 5,000 pounds on the Burro Operating System with indoor and outdoor lidar autonomy. Confirmed funding rounds are a $1.5 million seed, a $10.9 million Series A in October 2021, and a $24 million Series B in January 2024 co-led by Catalyst Investors and Translink Capital, with the total left approximate since aggregator figures conflict. A reported NVIDIA partnership could not be verified against any primary source and is not asserted here; the Burro Operating System is Burro's own software, distinct from any NVIDIA tie.

Yes. Burro is independently verified in real-world operation on the DEPLOY registry, confirmed at named deployment sites with primary sources: not a concept, render, or demo-only.

Burro is made by Burro, based in Philadelphia, PA, USA, founded in 2017.

4 verified deployments of Burro are on the DEPLOY registry, including at Global (multiple sites), Northern Ohio, USA (Petitti Family Farms expansion), Ridge Manor, Florida, USA.

Burro and VMS V310 (DeLaval · 9 deployments) are both agriculture robots on the DEPLOY registry. Burro has 4 verified deployments on record. Compare both records for specs, safety, deployments, and verified-vs-claimed autonomy.

On DEPLOY's intelligence score, which blends verified deployments, safety, adoption, media, and IP signals, Burro ranks in roughly the top 9% of agriculture models tracked by the registry.

Burro is at the commercial stage on the DEPLOY maturity ladder (research, prototype, pilot, commercial, production). Commercial stage means production-grade deployments are operating at named customer sites.

Burro has no incidents on record in the DEPLOY registry. This does not constitute a safety guarantee; it reflects the incidents DEPLOY has tracked and verified to date.
