Robots the base for the autonomy of tomorrow

Autonomous farming begins with collaborative Burro robots, which help people work more productively today while building the base for more expansive autonomy tomorrow.

”To succeed, you have to find groups that share your world view. For us, THRIVE was exactly that -a group from Silicon Valley that gets tech, but also spends time in the San Joaquin Valley so knows the problems facing growers. THRIVE opened our eyes further to the expansive opportunity for automation within agriculture and connected us with some of the industry’s best investors- people who get it!”
