Not What You Think with Zacha Rosen

Ordinary Drones (Peter Robinson)


Listen Later

There are exciting drones and there are definitely scary drones. But drones have quieter things going on as well. They’re already at work doing ordinary stuff: working in agriculture, in infrastructure, filming the news.

Peter Robinson is a journalist at the ABC, and has been working on pioneering some of those moves for the organisation.
