According to reports, as the first drone takeaway delivery route in the university scene, its take-off point is set 2In the 6-kilometer Xili Yitian Holiday Business District, students can choose to have the drone delivered to the designated landing point on campus when they book takeaway from businesses that have been connected to drone delivery. In terms of delivery efficiency, it generally only takes about 6 minutes from the time the meal is packed to the time it is delivered, and because the flight process is operated by the system autonomously, the delivery time error can be accurate to the second.
In the past, when I was doing experiments, I often had to watch the scene, and when I ordered takeout and couldn't deliver it on time, it would be very troublesome to pick up the food. I just experienced a drone delivery, and it is delivered on time as they introduced, and there will be an insulated cabinet for temporary storage, so that the pick-up will be more flexible. Chen Long, a student at Tsinghua University's Shenzhen International Graduate School, said.
We are committed to the construction of urban low-altitude unmanned distribution network, and hope to deal with the complex scenario challenges of distribution in urban center areas through continuous R&D and exploration, and provide consumers with safe and high-quality drone delivery services. In the view of the person in charge of the enterprise that carries out this business, the food delivery service has emerged in colleges and universities, and it is the company's long-term goal to bring a better food delivery experience to users on campus, "We hope to bring drone delivery services to more colleges and universities in the future, and we also hope to hear more opinions and suggestions from everyone and continuously improve this new service." ”
