Autonomous restoration robotics

Restoring the land crews can’t reach.

Autonomous robots that prepare the microsite, plant and prove every tree on hard ground and slopes.

Why Namu

The hardest ground gets planted last, if at all.

Restoration is requiredMines must close. Cutblocks must be replanted.
Crews are scarcePlanters are harder to hire every season.
Proof is expectedBuyers and regulators want tree-level evidence.
How it works

Pick. Prepare. Plant. Log.
