Technology for precise, scaled fuels treatment
We combine hardware, automations, drones, and state of the art software to deliver a system that expands true force multiplication of fuels management programs.
Our remote-operated machines thin and burn safely for maximum fuel treatment with minimal impact on the environment.
Through iterative development and testing plans, we’re always improving the core technology that fuels the BurnBot system.
Meet the RX2
Our latest BurnBot, the RX2, integrates ignition, containment, smoke management, and mop-up in a continuous sequence.
Safe, clean, and cost-effective—the RX2 does prescribed burns in most weather or terrain. The RX2 is scheduled for deployments in Australian from early 2025.
The BurnBot RX machine processes only the enclosed region directly below it, allowing it to safely and precisely burn areas adjacent to homes, structures, or other high-value assets.
Ignition of the unwanted fuels is done using an array of high-temperature torches while the flames and embers are fully contained within the system to ensure no risk of escape fire.
The high burn temperature in an enclosed chamber creates less smoke than existing methods, many of which use noxious accelerants such as diesel or petroleum.
BurnBot protects
BurnBot’s RX prescribed fire system protects against destructive bushfire by amplifying workforce capacity to establish fuel breaks, firebreaks, and defensible space.
BurnBot RX addresses the scaling challenges of prescribed fire

Prescribed burn process with BurnBot system
Force Multiplier
Serves as a force multiplier for prescribed burn workforces
All-weather
Enables more days and windows to treat fuel buildup.
Enables treatment near communities and infrastructure
Reduces risk of escape and liability while expanding use of prescribed fire to protect the urban interface.
The Result:
More productive
More time windows
More accessible areas
Less expensive
Our Goal:
100x acres
