Burro robots can help farmers by reducing the amount of physically demanding labor needed, while also providing a more consistent result that increases yield efficiency. With a single robot, six to eight people can harvest up to 40% more fruit each day, leading to a payback period of less than three months for the grower. Burro estimates that productivity of harvesting will increase by 50% over the next 5-10 years, supporting farmers in reducing operating costs and increasing productivity. This technology can also help protect local production and upskill laborer's at a reduced cost.
