Today’s Startup of the Day is BurnBot.
BurnBot provides systematic fuels treatment services to prevent destructive wildfires. BurnBot’s LeanRX system of technologies uses remote prescribed burning machines for safe wildfire mitigation—all while maintaining the smallest ecological and logistical footprint possible. The LeanRX system can operate in varying terrain and conditions, and can quickly and efficiently create defensible space that protects communities, infrastructure, and natural resources. BurnBot’s systems can be put to use where traditional controlled burns won’t work. For example, drip torch burns produce a good deal of smoke, which is conductive enough it would interfere with the proper functioning of power lines or high-voltage equipment. BurnBot’s machines can be used even under power lines.
BurnBot was founded by Anukool Lakhina and Dr. Waleed S, "Lee" Haddad .
