If delivery-by-automated-drone ever actually becomes a serious service, might it be a good idea to start considering "building/structure electronic tagging"? That way, drones don't have to rely solely on GPS, or (I'm guessing) OCR of addresses and such. Obviously, with "guided" delivery, which is what we're going to have for now, this is less of a problem, but the ideal would be to have them be fully automated end-to-end (pickup, fly, dropoff, return with no human intervention.) With a beacon, we could give rough coordinates, then have the drones hone in on the beacon signal with the proper address. I'm not sure what would make a good "beacon with address metadata" technology, but it seems worth thinking about. |
