Unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) logistics is still in its infancy

With the rapid rise of the electricity industry, the express industry has already been industrial chain drive has entered an unprecedented development trend. And traditional industry to the consumption of material and human resources is very big, therefore derive the unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) delivery of the new field. Unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) logistics is still in its infancy stage industry standard needs to be set 
 
 
 
Wal-mart has also launched the store delivery is unmanned aerial vehicle (uav), the shipping method to obtain the patent approval, ship goods by unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) for customers in the supermarket. Two years ago, the motion and the vehicle development corporation, in the pearl river delta region to 500 sorties a day flight density, promote mountainous area and the remote rural area such as unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) logistics business; Last year, jingdong also in jiangsu suqian using unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) to send the first single goods; In addition, 7-eleven convenience store chain enterprises also cooperate with unmanned aircraft company, using unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) for the first time delivery for customers in the United States; Google also launched unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) for the university campus delivery service; And in March of this year, completed the first unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) amazon package delivery. 
 
It is not hard to see, a lot of logistics company, the electric business giants all think uavs logistics in this area have a lot of market prospects, also so early to do the layout. But now drone logistics industry is at the start-up stage, enterprise to a service is suspected of gain marketing. A lot of electricity enterprises expect to use unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) delivery to improve the user experience, expand the scope of delivery, even so, a lot of areas, the lack of human resources will also be able to use unmanned aerial vehicle (uav), the delivery is more convenient as well as saves manpower cost, but the development of this field, there are a lot of difficulties to the solution. 
 
Accurate positioning and escape. Now, unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) delivery still cannot achieve precise positioning, and perhaps you may express to the neighborhood. Commercial unmanned aerial vehicles (uavs) have the ability to communicate with each other, but does not guarantee that all the drones can carry on the accurate collision avoidance of unmanned aerial vehicle (uav), aerial objects, sensors, GPS, and the construction of a 3 d map is very important. 
 
Unmanned aerial vehicle (uav), the weight of the goods and the size of the battery. If customer only buy a pen, whether it is worth using unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) delivery, the shipping cost is often beyond the goods itself. There are some goods weight is very big, so for the bearing capacity of the unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) had the higher request. The greater the bearing capacity of unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) is inefficient, because of the limitation of unmanned aircraft fuselage size has certain for battery life have high requirements. 
 
Lack of industry standards. At present, unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) logistics industry with no clear standards, low-flying unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) has certain risk. Although many enterprises are trying to this field both at home and abroad, but did not resolve the problem of a lot of detail. The small aircraft need clear industry standard constraints, unmanned aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) logistics operation standard, the government controlled airspace and industry regulations requires specific standards. Previously, the civil aviation administration has said it will be in east China, northwest, xinjiang three areas to carry out the pilot work, establish and perfect the low-altitude air network is the goal of unmanned aerial vehicle (uav) logistics industry in the future.
