Dawn of Drones | Episode 90: Wonder Robotics
Wonder Robotics co-founder and CBO Or Epstein joins us this week on the Dawn of Drones podcast, as we continue a month dedicated to “Multidomain Ops Support,” sponsored by MatrixSpace.

Draganfly Drones: Designed to Protect and Defend the Homeland and Battlefields Globally
Drones are changing the face of battlefields and homeland response. Take war-related demining as one example. Traditional methods involve people walking through fields with sticks. That’s time consuming and dangerous. It will take 20 or more years to demine Ukraine. Every day of war adds about 30 days of the mining work that has to occur later. Drones can help pinpoint the location of mines and provide a guide for safe passage.
