ASI acquires Scythe Robotics, expands autonomous equipment portfolio
Autonomous Solutions Inc. has acquired Scythe Robotics, a Colorado-based developer of autonomous solutions for the landscape industry, expanding its capabilities in off-road vehicle automation.
The acquisition brings Scythe’s onboard intelligence and proprietary computer vision system, Scythe Sight, into ASI’s existing portfolio, which includes the Mobius autonomous fleet management system. The companies said the integration is expected to support further development of autonomous equipment across industries such as construction, agriculture and landscaping, while supporting continued deployment of Scythe’s M.52 autonomous 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 cofounder 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’s experience fielding nationwide deployments and its best-in-class account management program will help ASI’s growth and great customer service in our other verticals.”
Scythe, founded in 2018 and based in Longmont, Colorado, develops electric, autonomous commercial mowing equipment. The company reported increased deployment of its M.52 mower in 2025 across multiple states.
Scythe will continue to operate as an equipment brand within ASI Landscaping. Company officials said Scythe leadership will assume roles within ASI to support technology integration. ASI will maintain Scythe’s Longmont office along with operations in Utah and Texas.
