Autonomous Solutions Inc. (ASI), a maker of industrial vehicle automation and developer of the Mobius autonomous fleet management system, has acquired Scythe Robotics, a Colorado-based developer of commercial-grade autonomous solutions for the landscape industry. 

ASI, based in Mendon, Cache County, said the deal brings Scythe’s industry-leading onboard intelligence and proprietary computer vision system, Scythe Sight, to ASI’s established product offerings in industrial environments, like construction and agriculture, while further bolstering Scythe’s rapidly growing deployments of the M.52, its all-electric, autonomous commercial mower.

“With complementary values and missions, both Scythe and ASI build autonomy that shows up every day in the real world and delivers labor leverage for customers who can’t afford downtime,” said Jack Morrison, Scythe’s co-founder and CEO. “This newly established partnership will multiply our state-of-the-art autonomy’s impact across the industries ASI serves. Further, customers mowing with Scythe M.52 today will benefit from ASI’s scale, operational maturity and decades of success in off-road robotics.”

“ASI has over 25 years of deploying autonomy where reliability and safety aren’t just features but requirements,” said ASI CEO Mel Torrie. “Scythe’s AI technology will play a critical role in helping us develop the next generation of autonomous equipment across diverse industrial sectors. Equally important, the team at Scythe maintains a culture in sync with ASI — one that puts people first and strives to develop them — bringing a fresh perspective to our pursuit of those ambitions.”

Scythe, located in Longmont, Colorado, was founded in 2018 to build tools needed to more sustainably care for outdoor spaces. Its electric, autonomous commercial mower, Scythe M.52, mowed nearly 2 billion square feet for dozens of customers across 30 states in 2025.

Scythe and its team will continue to operate as an equipment brand within ASI Landscaping, while Scythe leadership will assume roles within ASI to facilitate technology integration and accelerate both commercial visions. ASI will maintain Scythe’s Longmont office alongside its growing footprint in Utah and Texas.

Autonomous Solutions was founded in 2000 by a group of engineers who took technologies developed at Utah State University into the commercial sector. ASI has grown to become one of the largest privately held robotics-focused companies and continues to rapidly scale. Home base is ASI’s 150-acre proving ground in Mendon, with offices in Salt Lake City and Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas.
