Burro Launches Grande 44, Its Most Powerful Autonomous Work Platform, Built with NVIDIA Isaac Sim

Key Takeaways

• Burro has launched Grande 44, its most powerful autonomous work platform to date, designed for towing, transportation, and vegetation management in agriculture, industrial, and outdoor operations, with first deliveries beginning in H2 2026.
• Grande 44 delivers 44 HP peak power, up to 6,000 lbs towing capacity, up to 1,500 lbs payload, and up to 40 kWh battery capacity, with 360° 3D LiDAR, RTK GNSS, and four stereo cameras (12 total).
• The autonomous stack was developed and validated using NVIDIA Isaac Sim, with more than 1 million hours of real-world field data from Burro's existing fleet used to generate synthetic training data and run software-in-the-loop validation.
• Burro's existing fleet of 750+ globally deployed robots has logged 240,000+ autonomous miles and 800,000+ hours of field-proven autonomy across nurseries, vineyards, and industrial sites.
• Grande 44 is available for pre-order now, with production beginning August 2026 and initial deliveries targeted for H2 2026.

Burro Launches Grande 44, Its Most Powerful Autonomous Platform

Burro, an autonomy company focused on outdoor labor automation, has announced the launch of Grande 44, its most powerful autonomous work platform to date. Designed for towing, transportation, and vegetation management across demanding terrain and conditions, Grande 44 is now available for pre-order, with first deliveries beginning in H2 2026.

The launch builds on a fleet of more than 750 globally deployed robots that have collectively logged 240,000+ autonomous miles and 800,000+ hours of field-proven autonomy across agriculture, industrial, and outdoor operational settings. Burro framed Grande 44 as a direct response to a growing bottleneck faced by operators: labor-intensive, repetitive tasks that tie up crews while labor pools shrink and input costs rise.

Grande 44 Specifications and Attachments

Grande 44 delivers 44 HP peak power (18 HP continuous) via high-efficiency brushless DC motors, with up to 6,000 lbs towing capacity across demanding terrain and up to 1,500 lbs payload on a solid steel cargo tray. Battery capacity runs up to 40 kWh (10 kWh standard, expandable) for all-day runtime. The sensor suite includes 360° 3D LiDAR, RTK GNSS, four stereo cameras (12 camera feeds total), and full lighting for operation across all weather conditions and indoor-outdoor transitions.

A single Grande 44 can tow, transport, mow, spray, and patrol autonomously, integrating with Burro's Cortador (48-inch autonomous brush cutter), Sprayito (vision-based spot sprayer), and Autonomous Charging Dock for continuous uptime across agricultural and outdoor operations.

Burro Uses NVIDIA Isaac Sim to Validate Grande 44's AI Stack

Grande 44's autonomy stack was developed and validated using NVIDIA Isaac Sim, an open-source framework built on NVIDIA Omniverse libraries that enables developers to simulate, test, and refine AI-driven robots in physically accurate virtual environments. By combining more than 1 million hours of real-world operational data with scalable synthetic data generation and software-in-the-loop validation, Burro accelerated development across perception, planning, and control.

“NVIDIA Isaac Sim lets us turn more than a million hours of real-world field data into a proving ground for Grande 44 — hardening its autonomy against conditions that would take years to encounter on-site, so it's ready for the toughest jobs on day one,” said Vibhoor Sood, Co-founder and VP Engineering at Burro.

Field Results and Commercial Availability

Burro's existing fleet has demonstrated measurable outcomes across multiple industries. Bell-Hopewell Nursery expanded from one potting line to three with Burro as the towing backbone, logging over 4,500 autonomous miles. Mesa Vineyards runs autonomous mowing and spot spraying across 40,000 acres, reducing mowing cost per acre from $22 to $5 and cutting chemical costs by up to 75%. A leading industrial site uses Burro for overnight autonomous inventory loops across 4,000 parking spots, completing a full vehicle scan nightly and offsetting one full-time employee.

Grande 44 is available for pre-order now, with production beginning August 2026. First deliveries are targeted for H2 2026, positioning the platform for deployment across agriculture, nursery, viticulture, and industrial operations ahead of the next growing and operational season.
