Our guest for Episode 53 is Jack Morrison, Co–Founder & CEO at Scythe Robotics. They build highly-intelligent, autonomous robots to tackle challenges in unstructured outdoor environments.  

Among a number of topics, Jack and I get into:

• the difference between robotics and artificial intelligence
• why we should not be worried about the robots and AI taking over (anytime soon, anyway)
• the state of the Front Range robotics industry
• and why it’s going to be awhile before we all have Jetsons-style robots roaming in our homes — and playing on our soccer fields
