This weekly podcast features interviews with successful entrepreneurs, technology leaders and luminaries in the mobile robotics industry. If you love autonomous mobile robots as much as we do, then this is your weekly fix of inspiring stories about where this market is headed.

This week, host Mike Oitzman interviews Monarch Tractor co-founders Praveen Penmetsa (CEO), and Zachary Omohundro (CTO). Monarch Tractor just launched their new all-electric, compact autonomous tractor robot this week, and during the podcast we learn all about the features and new capabilities that an all-electric, autonomous tractor platform brings to farmers around the world.

The Monarch Tractor is unique, due in part to its all-electric, battery powered design, and its classic utility. Monarch Tractor is introducing a new robotic platform for farmers based on the classic, compact tractor design. This platform is backwards compatible in that it can use any existing implement that a farmer already owns, yet the electric design and instrumentation design open new possibilities for farmers to become more high-tech in their operations.
