Oso Robotics

What Oso Robotics does

Oso Robotics, formerly Oso Electric Equipment, is a Texas-based private company that builds commercial-grade electric outdoor equipment with proprietary AI-driven autonomous capabilities, primarily serving the landscaping industry. Founded in 2019 in Irving, Texas, the company offers four core hardware products—an autonomous robotic mower, a 21-inch commercial walk-behind electric mower with a patent-pending single-lever control system, an electric Power Unit engineered as a direct replacement for the Honda GX160 gas engine, and a 52V 35Ah LiFePO4 swappable battery platform with 85% capacity retention after 2,000 cycles—alongside an OEM Intelligent Equipment Platform that enables third-party manufacturers to integrate Oso's autonomy, telematics, and OTA capabilities into their own equipment lines via robotic mower kits and white-label platforms.

The company's technical differentiation is anchored on the Large World Model (LWM), a deep-learning system trained on real-world operational data that enables autonomous navigation, obstacle avoidance, and continuous fleet-wide improvement through accumulated field experience, supported by a sensor stack combining RTK GPS, LiDAR, and vision cameras fused in real time by an on-board computer. The October 2025 acquisition of Electric Sheep Robotics added advanced machine-learning and autonomous-systems expertise, triggering the rebrand to Oso Robotics, and the May 2026 strategic ownership investment in TOWA Industries paired Oso's equipment with charging cabinets and mobile battery power stations for an end-to-end battery-powered fleet solution.

Revenue is generated through direct sales of robotic mowers, an authorized dealer network for walk-behind mowers and batteries, OEM and white-label partnerships for equipment manufacturers, and recurring telematics, warranty, and service packages. The customer base spans commercial landscapers, residential landscapers, government and education grounds teams, and OEM manufacturers, with active deployments in Texas and California. The company operates three U.S. offices—Irving TX (headquarters), Laguna Hills CA, and Emeryville CA (engineering/R&D)—with fewer than 50 employees.

Core offering

Oso Robotics designs, manufactures, and sells commercial-grade battery-electric robotic and walk-behind mowers, swappable LiFePO4 batteries, and a portable power unit that together let landscaping crews cut grass without gas or on-site charging. The equipment is driven by an in-house AI "Large World Model" that powers autonomous mowing, obstacle avoidance, and yard mapping, and the same platform is offered to other equipment makers as a white-label, OEM-ready autonomy solution.

Product overview

Oso Robotics offers a unified portfolio of AI-driven commercial electric outdoor equipment consisting of four core product lines: the Robotic Mower (autonomous AI-powered commercial mower), Walk-Behind Mower (21-inch commercial electric push mower), Power Unit (electric engine replacement for gas equipment), and 35Ah Battery (swappable LiFePO4 power source shared across platforms). The portfolio is complemented by an OEM platform—Oso Intelligent Equipment Platform—enabling manufacturers to integrate Oso's autonomy and connectivity technology into their own equipment via Robotic Mower Kits and White-Label Platforms. The company also develops the Large World Model (LWM), a proprietary AI system that powers autonomous navigation across its equipment fleet.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Oso Robotic Mower Commercial-grade autonomous, battery-electric robotic mower that uses the Oso Large World Model with RTK, vision, and LiDAR sensors to mow defined properties without an on-board operator; intended for commercial landscape crews and large-property buyers.
• Oso Walk-Behind Mower Battery-electric walk-behind commercial mower designed for crews that need a hybrid autonomous-plus-manual workflow, pairing with the same Oso batteries and platform.
• Oso Power Unit Portable power unit that charges Oso swappable batteries in the field so crews can rotate charged packs across mowers and power tools without returning to a fixed charger.
• Oso 35Ah LiFePO4 Battery Swappable 52V / 35Ah LiFePO4 battery pack used across Oso mowers and power tools, enabling crew-level battery rotation instead of per-machine charging.
• Oso Intelligent Equipment Platform OEM-facing software and integration platform that lets outdoor power equipment manufacturers embed Oso's autonomous mowing stack — including the Large World Model, sensors, and telematics — into their own product lines without building the AI in-house.
• Oso Robotic Mower Kit (OEM integration kit) Hardware and software integration kit that OEMs can drop into a host mower chassis to add autonomous mowing capability powered by the Oso platform.
• Oso White-Label Platforms White-label configuration of Oso equipment and autonomy that OEM and dealer partners can sell under their own brand.

Direct peers

• Husqvarna Group: Husqvarna is the dominant player in robotic lawn mowers (Automower line) and a global outdoor power equipment manufacturer. It competes head-to-head with Oso in autonomous commercial mowing and shares the same landscaper/government customer base, though it operates at vastly greater scale and distribution breadth.
• Scythe Robotics: Scythe builds autonomous commercial mowing robots for landscaping crews using a multi-sensor AI stack, targeting the same commercial landscaper segment as Oso with a comparable autonomous-electric value proposition. It is one of the closest direct competitors in autonomous commercial mowing.
• RC Mowers: RC Mowers builds remote-controlled and autonomous robotic mowers for commercial landscapers, municipalities, and road-side vegetation management. Its product set and target customer directly overlap with Oso's commercial landscape/government focus.
• Mean Green Mowers: Mean Green Mowers manufactures commercial-grade electric zero-turn and walk-behind mowers positioned as direct gas replacements for landscapers. It overlaps with Oso's Walk-Behind and electric powertrain story, though it lacks Oso's autonomous AI layer.

Broad incumbents

• John Deere (Autonomous Mowing): John Deere is the incumbent commercial turf and agriculture equipment leader with an emerging autonomous commercial mowing initiative. It overlaps with Oso on autonomous commercial mowers and OEM-equivalent reach into landscapers, government, and education customers, but does so as part of a much broader equipment portfolio.
• Greenworks Commercial: Greenworks is a large battery-powered outdoor equipment OEM serving residential and commercial channels with a broad electric product portfolio. It is comparable to Oso as an electric outdoor equipment incumbent, though it focuses more on residential/light-commercial and OEM/retail channels versus Oso's autonomous commercial focus.
• STIHL USA: STIHL is a global professional outdoor power equipment incumbent serving commercial landscapers and government accounts through an extensive dealer network. It competes indirectly with Oso through its professional gas and emerging battery product lines for the same landscaper customer.
• EGO Power+ (Chervon): EGO Power+ is a consumer/prosumer battery-powered outdoor equipment brand from Chervon with an expanding commercial presence. It competes with Oso on commercial electric mowers and battery platforms, though it does not offer autonomous mowing capability.

Emerging players

• Graze (Markovani): Graze develops autonomous commercial mowing robots with computer-vision-driven navigation for large properties like solar farms and golf courses. It is comparable to Oso as a focused autonomy-for-outdoor-equipment emerging player targeting commercial properties, though it leans more into solar/agricultural-scale terrain.
• Kress (Positec): Kress, part of Positec, has launched professional battery-powered and autonomous robotic mowers targeted at landscapers. It is comparable to Oso as an emerging battery/autonomy player in commercial mowing with a similar OEM ecosystem, though with greater geographic distribution in Europe.
