OsoRobotics
"AI-Driven. All-Electric."
Texas maker of 21-inch commercial electric and supervised-autonomous mowers plus a drop-in Honda GX160 electric replacement, owner of Electric Sheep Robotics.
Oso Robotics Inc. builds commercial-grade battery-electric outdoor power equipment and autonomous mowing systems for professional landscapers, aiming to displace the small petrol engines that dominate the trade. The company launched in 2019 in Irving, Texas as Oso Electric Equipment with a patent-pending commercial walk-behind electric mower, and is led by founder and chief executive Nag Rao. It runs facilities in Irving and in Laguna Hills, California, and employs an estimated 11 to 50 people.
The turning point was the acquisition of Electric Sheep Robotics on 22 October 2025, after which the company rebranded from Oso Electric Equipment to Oso Robotics. Electric Sheep, founded in 2019 in San Francisco, had built the RAM mowing robot, the Verdie robot for edging, trimming and leaf blowing, and the ES1 learned world model for reasoning and planning, and had funded its development by buying conventional landscaping companies and automating their routes; it was named RBR50 Startup of the Year in 2024 and was operating in California and Texas. Terms were not disclosed. The deal gave Oso an AI and autonomy team to pair with its own electric powertrain hardware, with the stated aim of running in places where GPS coverage is poor.
The current line has four elements. The robotic mower is a 21-inch supervised-autonomous machine weighing 140 lb without battery, navigating on RTK GPS combined with a vision camera and a LiDAR sensor, cutting from 1.5 to 4.25 inches at up to 3,400 rpm, driving at up to 2.9 mph on slopes to 20 degrees, running two or more hours on a 52 V 35 Ah LiFePO4 pack, and stopping motors and blades within a two-metre human detection zone; an operator must stay on site with a remote e-stop, and an optional cloud dashboard tracks location, charge and maintenance. The walk-behind mower shares the 21-inch aluminium deck, battery and blade speed at under 120 lb, adds five-speed variable drive to 4.47 mph, takes Toro-compatible blades and offers mulching or a 2.5-bushel bag, and carries AGZA field-test certification. The Power Unit is a drop-in electric replacement for the Honda GX160, delivering 2.5 to 3.0 kW at up to 3,600 rpm and 50 A for skid sprayers, pumps and similar equipment, rated IP65, running up to five hours and measuring 45 dB(A) at seven metres against roughly 70 dB for the engine it replaces. A swappable LiFePO4 battery underpins all three.
Oso sells through a dealer network and directly to commercial and residential landscapers, government and education buyers, and OEM partners who license the powertrain rather than developing one. In May 2026 it took a strategic ownership stake in TOWA Industries, a US maker of commercial smart charging and mobile battery power systems whose products include PDM power distribution managers, PowerVault lockable charging cabinets and BPS mobile battery power stations, on the reasoning that fleets cannot be electrified without solving depot and field charging. No external equity funding has been publicly reported for Oso itself."
