Pilot parcel delivery by robots and drones

Delivery robots and drones deliver parcels

Future prospectStrictly regulatedLetting machines & robots work autonomouslyLogistics & transport

Fits: Logistics & warehousing

If it works, small robots on the pavement or drones carry shipments over the last stretch, for example in outlying areas, over water or between pharmacy, laboratory and hospital. Today there are mainly time-limited pilot projects with individual permits; broad regular operation has not yet been reached.

Is this for you?

  • You want to be a pilot partner or prepare early because you have urgent small shipments or recipients who are hard to reach.
  • You can name a fixed route or a small area with simple handover points.
  • The shipments are small and light enough for a robot or drone.
First step today

Use the template below to have the status of pilot projects and permits compiled with sources, and check your prerequisites at the same time. Do not enter recipient addresses or shipment data.

How to go about it

  1. Define the route, shipments and pilot criteria
  2. Draw up a safety plan for the pavement and airspace
  3. Choose a system and clarify permits
  4. Trial under supervision in the pilot area
  5. Extend the area and times step by step
  6. Monitor operation, incidents and acceptance
