Autonomous brush-cutting robot for steep terrain
Cutting-edge forestry technology for land clearing, wildfire prevention, and the sustainable management of rural areas.
A revolution in rural land management, pioneering in forest clearing and wildfire prevention.
Capra is an autonomous and radio-controlled brush-cutting robot, designed to operate safely in forest and agricultural areas that are difficult to access, with steep slopes or dense vegetation.
It combines intelligent navigation with remote control, without the need for perimeter wiring or constant supervision. An advanced tool to protect our environment.
Smart technology for a natural environment
Capra integrates navigation sensors, radio-frequency control, and active safety mechanisms.
It can detect obstacles, adapt to the terrain, and operate without direct human intervention.
This makes it possible to:
✅ Minimize risks
✅ Reduce intervention costs
✅ Improve efficiency and coverage in forestry work
Its features and design make it unique
Benefits
This innovative technology has been designed to address one of the greatest challenges of our time: protecting our forests. Thanks to its autonomous and safe operation, it reduces risks for operators in complex environments, optimizes maintenance costs, and multiplies efficiency in every intervention.
It also becomes a strategic tool in the prevention and fight against wildfires, helping to preserve the environment, ensure the safety of rural communities, and protect such a valuable resource as our forests.
Technology
Robotics enters the forest with an autonomous robot designed to work under the most demanding conditions. Its ability to operate safely and precisely on steep slopes makes it a unique tool for forest management and wildfire prevention.
Equipped with advanced sensors that enable reliable, terrain-adaptive autonomous navigation, it eliminates the need for perimeter wiring and offers intuitive remote control for operators. All of this is supported by strict safety systems designed to minimize risks in hard-to-reach and high-risk environments.
An innovative solution that combines technology, sustainability, and efficiency to protect our forests and support those who care for them.
Engineered for the challenges of the countryside
Over the coming months, Capra will be tested in rural environments in northern Spain.
Its goal: to support forest clearing, power line maintenance, agricultural land preparation, and wildfire prevention.
With special focus on areas at risk of depopulation or with high vegetation density.
A collaborative project with institutional support
This pioneering development is driven by:
- Medioambiental Valledor
- Grupo Salense
- Seerstems
- Centro Tecnológico y Forestal de la Madera
A key factor in this project has been its funding through the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development of the European Union, the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food of the Government of Spain, as well as the Department of Rural Affairs and Agricultural Policy of the Principality of Asturias.
