  <title>Episode 28: Drones are IoT</title>
  <description>Drones – they're flying IoT systems in their own right and smart flying IoT devices as seen by the rest of the world. &amp;amp;nbsp;But – what are they good for, and what is their place in Canada? &amp;amp;nbsp;We discuss these questions and delve into the drone innovation supported by Transport Canada, related governance, and the testing and validation of drone functionality and safety in adverse Canadian weather. &amp;amp;nbsp;And what about that drone-delivered pizza you've been waiting for such a long time – we get into that too. Guest Our guest is Mark Robbins, manager of Venture Projects at Transport Canada's Innovation Center. &amp;amp;nbsp;With Mark's extensive experience in public policy analysis and development, he supports innovative approaches to government, including the deployment and validation of emerging technologies. &amp;amp;nbsp;His previous involvement in policy research and development includes roles at the Institute on Governance, the Conference Board of Canada, the Canadian Transportation Agency, and IBM. &amp;amp;nbsp;Mark's work is founded on a bachelor's degree in political science from the University of Ottawa, a Master's in Political Economy from Carleton University, and a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Toronto. &amp;amp;nbsp; Links Mark Online LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-d-robbins-7526a921/ Twitter: @RoboRobbins &amp;amp;nbsp; Transport Canada Innovation Centre Website: https://tc.canada.ca/en/innovation-centre &amp;amp;nbsp; Resources Article/Video:  Drones are equipped with 6-kg canister equipped with a specialized precision parachute Article:  Mohawk College, Transport Canada agree to test drones near Hamilton beach &amp;amp;nbsp; Visit IoT North Website: https://iotnorth.ca LinkedIn Group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12309383 Twitter: @iotNorth &amp;amp;nbsp; &amp;amp;nbsp; Visit Praxiem – our patron Website: https://praxiem.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/3107474  Twitter: @praxiem </description>
