Don’t miss the American Robotics drone radio show podcast! Host Randy Goers interviews Reese Mozer, CEO and co-founder of American Robotics.
By and large, the industry has been stuck in proof-of-concept mode for the past decade. At least when we talk about many commercial opportunities. However, thanks to Dubai’s success, we are now seeing a second city adopting this technology in Abu Dhabi. There are already plans to deploy around 50 fully autonomous systems in both cities over the next two to three years – Reese Mozer
