When to pick which
Choose the Burro Burro for labor-intensive harvesting operations in vineyards, nurseries, or orchards where workers require immediate assistance moving heavy materials. Its 226kg payload capacity and autonomous follow-me functionality make it a superior choice for carrying produce or tools alongside human crews, directly reducing physical strain. With a 10-hour runtime on LFP or SLA batteries, it supports full-day shifts without interruption. Select this robot if your primary constraint is manual labor costs or worker fatigue during transport tasks, as its compact 190kg frame and 2.24 m/s speed allow for agile movement in tight rows where the larger ARA cannot navigate.
Opt for the Ecorobotix ARA for large-scale row crop operations, such as commercial vegetable or cereal farming, where chemical cost reduction and environmental impact are primary concerns. Its 6.2m working width allows for rapid coverage of expansive fields at 2 m/s, specifically targeting weeds or applying fungicides with centimeter-level precision. While the Burro is a general-purpose carrier, the ARA is a specialized high-output tool for growers needing to minimize herbicide usage by up to 95%. Choose this system if your deployment scale requires treating hundreds of acres with high-resolution data collection and analysis to optimize crop health and yield.
