Amazon is testing the “Octocopter”,
an unmanned drone that can deliver packages weighing up to 2.3 kg within 30
minutes after placing the order. Can you imagine flying robots delivering goods
right to your door? Can you?
I am sure for most people this
looks like science fiction, but according to Chief Executive Jeff Bezos it’s
not, and the service called prime air could start in five years and it will cover areas within a 10-mile
radius of distribution centres.
Amazon is not the only company
considering the idea of using unmanned drones for deliveries as Domino released a
video of the “Domicopter” last year, I guess we will see our dinner and christmas presents flying across
the city in the near future.
