As guest speaker for a CMURobotics RI Seminar, titled Lessons Learned Bootstrapping a Robotic Vehicle Company, Mel Torrie of Autonomous Solutions (Petersboro, Utah), describes how he got into robotics in the first place, why he made the jump from academia to a startup, how that startup survived their "near-death experience", what the company has been doing since, and what he's learned along the way. There is a strong agricultural theme, both in his original motivation and in the history and current operation of Autonomous Solutions.
