Hi Alex, I had a chance to talk with Hassan Bhatti last week about some of the problems being worked on at Iris. I asked him about how Iris plans to provide solutions to the wide range of applications that an industrial drone can contribute to, and he mentioned building a modular platform that can be modified to suit the unique needs of the different applications.

With DJI currently offering a general purpose flying platform (Matrice 600) in addition to a highly specialised agricultural drone, I am wondering if you can provide some more insights into the pros and cons of developing a modular platform, give some examples on the different kind of modifications that can be made, and whether there is plans down the road to develop more specialised drones for specific applications.

Oh, and tell him Jimmy said hi when he gets there today :)
