Had a chance to speak to the third-year class of Engineering Science Robotics (ESC 301) students at the University of Toronto last night about #mining and #construction #robotics, #entrepreneurship, #intellectualproperty, and on commercialization of research. Lots of great questions from a keen bunch of future roboticists—like, as an #academic, what's your strategy for ensuring great R&D doesn't die in the lab? Thanks again to Prof. Jon Kelly (https://twitter.com/domo_mr_roboto) for the invite to speak!
