SoftBank Funding Combined with ASI’s 25+ Years of Mobius® Fleet Management Expertise Will Accelerate Commercialization of OEM-Agnostic, Mixed-Fleet Autonomous Solutions for Next-Generation Infrastructure. Mendon, UT – Sept 24, 2026: Autonomous Solutions, Inc. (ASI), the worldwide leader of industrial vehicle automation and creator of Mobius®, the platform that defined Industrial Autonomous Fleet Orchestration (IAFO), has formed a joint venture with SoftBank Group Corp. (TSE: 9984, “SoftBank Group”) focusing on the development and commercialization of autonomous construction equipment for large infrastructure projects. The joint venture has been capitalized by SoftBank Group for meaningful scale across a number of construction use cases, substantially enhancing ASI’s capacity to meet the market’s need for next-generation autonomous solutions focused on civil construction and material-handling. In addition to the ASI/SoftBank joint venture, SoftBank Group invested $225M in ASI, providing capital to grow its commercial operations across the broader construction market. “This joint venture with SoftBank positions ASI at the forefront of autonomous construction innovation—built for scale, engineered for longevity, and open to every major equipment brand on the jobsite,” shares ASI CEO Mel Torrie. “Together, we offer automated OEM-agnostic heavy equipment solutions that let customers deploy mixed fleets of haul trucks, dozers, loaders, compactors, and more—all operating autonomously together across complex tasks from earthmoving to vertical construction. Backed by world-class capital and 25+ years of proven technology, we’re not just advancing autonomy—we’re inviting the industry’s leading builders of large infrastructure projects, like roadways, airports, railways, waste management, and other adjacent applications, to shape the future of construction with us.” ### About Autonomous Solutions, Inc. Autonomous Solutions, Inc. (ASI), worldwide leader of industrial vehicle automation, developed the Mobius® Industrial Autonomous Fleet Orchestration system. ASI’s innovative, proprietary robotic hardware and software make any fleet, large and small, operate autonomously. Most autonomous solutions are designed around a single vehicle, a closed ecosystem, or a future roadmap. ASI was built for real-world fleet orchestration across mixed vehicle environments, existing infrastructure, and long-term operational scalability. Trusted by global Fortune 500 companies across various sectors, such as heavy construction, agriculture, logistics, and landscaping, ASI transforms the dirty, dull, and dangerous into efficient, scalable, accurate, and reliably productive operations. Founded in 2000 by a group of engineers who took technologies developed at Utah State University into the commercial sector, ASI has grown to become one of the largest privately held robotics-focused companies anywhere and continues to rapidly scale. Homebase is ASI’s 200+-acre proving ground in Northern Utah with offices in Salt Lake City, Utah, Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, and Longmont, Colorado.

(ASI), the worldwide leader of industrial vehicle automation and developer of the Mobius autonomous fleet management system, announces the acquisition of Scythe Robotics, the Colorado-based developer of advanced, commercial-grade autonomous solutions for the landscape industry. The deal brings Scythe’s industry-leading onboard intelligence and proprietary computer vision system, Scythe Sight, to ASI’s established product offerings in industrial environments, like construction and agriculture, while further bolstering Scythe’s rapidly growing deployments of M.52, its all-electric, autonomous commercial 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, located in Longmont, CO, was founded in 2018 with the mission to build the tools needed to more sustainably care for our outdoor spaces. Its electric, autonomous commercial mower, Scythe M.52, achieved its highest productivity yet in 2025, mowing nearly 2 billion square feet for dozens of customers across 30 states. Scythe and its team will continue to operate as an equipment brand within ASI Landscaping, while Scythe leadership will assume roles within ASI to facilitate technology integration and accelerate both commercial visions. ASI will maintain Scythe’s Longmont office alongside its growing footprint in Utah and Texas. ### About Autonomous Solutions, Inc. Autonomous Solutions, Inc.
