Scythe Robotics is a Longmont, Colorado maker of the M.52 autonomous stand-on mower. Service Robot Co. is a different kind of company. We pick the right machine for your properties, lease it on a 3-year lease with a $1 buyout, deploy it, train your crew and service it.
Who is Scythe Robotics?
Scythe Robotics announced on March 11, 2026 that Autonomous Solutions, Inc. (ASI) acquired it. Scythe says it continues as an equipment brand within ASI Landscaping. Source
BusinessDen reported in March 2026 that the M.52 is the only model Scythe has available. Source

What should you plan for with any autonomous mower?
Outside sources, quoted and linked. Check each point on your own sites.
MowScout’s guide to the M.52 says it is “optimized for wide, relatively simple expanses”
MowScout’s guide says of the same mower that “it expects a crew nearby”
Timber Toste of Mow Bot Ltd, a contractor, told NALP: “We seem to map properties several times before we get a good workflow.”
In the same NALP piece, Toste said “not every shop has the electrical capacity to expand”
Why talk to an integrator first?
Going direct to one maker gets you that maker’s machine. Service Robot Co. starts from your properties instead. We pick the right machine for them, lease it to you, deploy it, train your crew and service it. You keep the clients and the contracts.
How does the lease work?
A 3-year lease with a $1 buyout at the end. You see the terms before you commit.
Assess
A free site assessment of the properties you want to move first. We look at turf, slopes, sky view, power and storage.
Lease
We pick the right machine for your properties and quote a 3-year lease with a $1 buyout at the end.
Deploy and train
We map each site, set the zones and no-go areas and train your crew to run and supervise the mower.

Who should go direct to Scythe Robotics instead?
Going direct is the right call for some buyers. We would rather say so than take a lease that does not fit.
- You already know the exact machine you want and only need one maker.
- You have one crew, a few large open properties and want a single maker as your only contact.
- You would rather manage mapping, training and service yourself.
- If your sites are mostly small, shaded or full of beds, no robotic mower fits yet. We will say so at the assessment.
