Episode description

The Victorian government is considering using robots to patrol the corridors of hotels where people are in quarantine to contain the coronavirus.

 

We’re joined by Bryan Goudsblom, CEO of Monjon Australia, the security company behind the robots. He says they’re the next frontier of technology and have a part to play in the country’s future.
