Company Description

Autonomous Solutions, Inc. designs and manufactures unmanned vehicle systems, software, and components for a variety of industrial and military customers. We have extensive experience in the automation of both large and small scale robotic vehicles with an emphasis on multi-vehicle command and control, mission planning, sensor fusion, obstacle avoidance, tele-operation, and point-and-click ease of use.

ASI was founded in 2000 by a group of researchers in order to take the ideas and technologies developed at Utah State University into the commercial sector. From this beginning, ASI has grown to become one of the largest privately held robotics-focused companies in the world. We employ a team of world class computer, electrical, and mechanical engineers and support staff at our 100 acre proving ground facility in Northern Utah.
