The drone was able to deliver the parcel shop Amazon customer just 13 minutes. How it works and what is the purpose?
On plans to introduce fast mailings using drones company says Amazon for several months. Now finally moved from words to deeds - its courier drone carried out the first flight with two parcels.
Amazon He videotaped his drone courier (Prime Air) In Great Britain. The scale is very small - we are talking about only two deliveries. But over time, the number will increase to tens or even thousands.
Why has only two parcels were delivered with the help of drones? The fact is that at present, few people want to buy it taken so, moreover he must live near the Amazon Center in Cambridge.
But back to the first delivery. flight was 7 December. Thus takeoff flight and return back drone occurred completely offline. Handling is happening inside the center. Максимальная грузоподъемность беспилотника составляет чуть более 2 kilograms.
What was the first package? Prefix Amazon Fire TV and popcorn bag. С момента заказа и до момента доставки груза на двор клиента прошло всего 13 minutes. And it looked so:
Judging from the video, you can guess, that the client will have to stretch a small pad in the backyard, drone to know, where he should land. We have to admit, что такое решение имеет определенный смысл.
The ultimate goal is, the client must rely on, that his load will reach him for 30 minutes after ordering. It is not necessary to hide that it is quite difficult goal. Certainly in a large country like the UK it is not achievable, хотя в ней и присутствует развитая сеть магазинов Amazon.
