Scythe Robotics

Scythe Robotics builds autonomous electric lawnmowers that support commercial landscaping teams to complete their work more efficiently. The robot can mow all day on a single charge, and its array of sensors allow it to operate safely in dynamic environments. The M.52 mower identifies objects such as humans, animals, cars, and trees in order to navigate and complete tasks successfully.

Scythe’s robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) pricing model is usage-based: Customers only pay per acre mowed. Pricing per acre under the “pay-as-you-mow” model varies since not all acres are the same, but the model saves Scythe’s customers up to 40% of the costs of traditional mowing.

"With a usage-based model, Scythe is able to align incentives better with our customers,” says Jack Morrison, CEO of Scythe. “Landscapers want one thing: a mower that can reliably and efficiently mow as much as possible. On a pay-per-use model, customers create an ongoing partnership that ensures we all have exactly the same goal.”
