What Autonomous Solutions, Inc. (ASI) does

Autonomous Solutions, Inc. (ASI) is a Utah-based private robotics company founded in 2000 as a Utah State University spin-off that develops Mobius, an OEM-agnostic platform for Industrial Autonomous Fleet Orchestration (IAFO). The platform enables a single operator to remotely command and coordinate fleets of autonomous, tele-operated, and manned industrial vehicles from a centralized interface, supporting 100+ vehicle types across multiple manufacturers via proprietary Vehicle Control Units (VCU), RF network connectivity, and embedded AI modules for routing, path planning, collision avoidance, and multi-vehicle coordination. ASI's product portfolio includes the Mobius platform with modular feature modes (Command & Control, Map Builder, Path Builder), the patented VCU hardware kit, SWARM choreographed testing technology, the Scythe Sight AI computer vision system (acquired 2026), and the all-electric M.52 autonomous commercial mower from Scythe Robotics. Sub-brands include ASI Construction (launched with SoftBank in 2025) and ASI Landscaping.

ASI generates revenue through a mix of Mobius software licensing (subscription/recurring), proprietary hardware kits (one-time sales plus installation), professional services and phased deployment engagements, and direct equipment sales through acquired brands such as Scythe. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to fleet size, vehicle types, automation scope, and deployment complexity; details are not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is anchored in enterprise field sales targeting large industrial operators across civil construction, agriculture (broad-acre row crops, sugarcane, orchards/vineyards), logistics (yard operations), and landscaping, supplemented by equipment distributor channel partnerships (e.g., Everglades Equipment Group for John Deere), industry event presence, and thought-leadership content marketing led by founder-CEO Mel Torrie. ASI exited its automotive OEM proving ground business in October 2024 and divested its ASI Mining business unit to Epiroc in 2024 to focus capital on off-road markets, with anchor deployments including U.S. Sugar's 255,000-acre autonomous tractor program in Florida and operations across 30 states through Scythe.
