The team at Ostrich Air and Firebot Labs has a strong record of overcoming both technological hurdles for robotic systems, and regulatory hurdles for drones. They're true engineers, who get to the real root of a problem - including the human element of any system. Whether that be operational interface, regulatory, or just networking to the end users. They're a fun crew, and this recording brings that forth. They've already become engaged in emergency response, and are currently raising money to develop the next level of the system they've developed with ample feedback from emergency responders in both fire and urban settings.

Vienna spent the last 6 years stationed at a Lookout Tower in southern Idaho, interacting across several agencies for all aspects of forest management. She took a round-about path to her career in land management, and shares many thoughtful and balanced viewpoints from her time there, and what she sees coming in the future.  She's been watching while different technologies have been introduced - or at least attempted to be introduced - and the reality of how useful those efforts have become so far. She also brings a valuable perspective on the human career and compensation dynamics that will inevitably be influenced by adopting technologies.
