Using drones to deliver express delivery was a "patent" of American e-commerce giant Amazon not long ago, and now it is becoming an important link in the online shopping process of China consumers. Yesterday, I learned from the ongoing World Robotics Congress that JD.COM intends to apply for pilot drone delivery in some areas of Daxing around Beijing's South Sixth Ring Road.
In Xi, Shaanxi Province and Suqian, Jiangsu Province, JD.COM UAV distribution has become a reality. "We are going to apply to the relevant departments for the right to use some airspace in Daxing around the South Sixth Ring Road, hoping to pilot drones to deliver express delivery in Beijing for the first time." The relevant person in charge of Beijing JD.COM Shangke Information Technology Co., Ltd. said.
At the Robotics Conference, JD.COM Six-rotor UAV attracted many viewers' attention. It can be unloaded automatically, with a load of 20kg, a flying radius of 20km and a sailing speed of 15m/ s. This robust robot boy has great potential to become a "courier brother" at first glance. JD.COM distribution UAV is a self-developed model, which can realize automatic distribution, and can complete a series of intelligent actions such as automatic loading, automatic take-off, autonomous cruise, automatic landing, automatic unloading and automatic return flight without human intervention. At present, JD.COM delivery drones have been put into operation in Xi, Shaanxi and Suqian, Jiangsu. The parcel is delivered to the rural extension workers from the distribution center or distribution station in JD.COM, and then the rural extension workers complete the final delivery of the order.
