Robots that prevent wildfires
BurnBot is pioneering wildfire prevention with its RX2 controlled-burn machine. Designed to deliver safe, efficient prescribed burns, the RX2 operates 10 times faster than traditional methods, producing minimal smoke and reducing the risk of escape fires.
BurnBot offers full-service timber operations including sustainable harvesting, hazard tree removal, and biomass management. This approach turns fuel reduction into revenue streams for landowners while strengthening rural economies and reducing catastrophic fire risk.
BurnBot delivers scalable, precision fuels management using remote-controlled masticators and blackline machines to reduce fire risk around homes and critical infrastructure. The service combines innovative technology with proven forestry practices to create defensible space and treat hazardous fuel loads efficiently, protecting properties before wildfires start.
BurnBot provides real-time mapping, tracking, and analysis tools including dynamic treatment maps, fuel load models, client reporting, pre/post-treatment vegetation data, and long-term risk monitoring. This enables agencies and utilities to plan smarter treatments and prove effectiveness through audit trails.
BurnBot's ultra-low-impact approach reduces fuel loads without disturbing healthy vegetation or compacting soil. The service combines mechanical treatments and strategic burns with environmental stewardship, supporting ecosystem restoration and long-term land health alongside wildfire risk reduction.
BurnBot operates 24/7 in most weather conditions and treats steep, remote, or hazardous areas with precision. The technology is up to 40x more efficient when paired with traditional methods, allowing treatment of thousands of acres in weeks rather than months, with fewer crews needed.
