<p>If you've ever watched a Boston dynamics video, you might see a robot dog that can open doors or a humanoid robot that can do back flips, that can do parkour. It's amazing.</p> <p>But what is the point of these robots? Well, they are drones. They're unmanned vehicles that allow us to take our eyes and our hands and move them to different places where we may not be able to so easily get to.</p> <p>Drone technology is evolving rapidly. Bringing many new types of drones. And the number of places where we can take our eyes to, or bring our hands to is just so much more than we could before.</p> <p>My guest today is Joel Batters from Lone Drone Solutions and Joel was early into the drone game back when it was mostly just a hobby for rich people who could afford these, but as the technology evolved and the applications evolved, he evolved the kind of services that his business offers.</p> <p>We talk, among other things, about:</p> <ul> <li>How Joel started his business</li> <li>How a chance encounter helped him find his co-founder</li> <li>New exciting uses of drone tech</li> </ul>
