The rapid increase in usage of online ordering has increased the requirement of manpower
deliver in multiple folds. Drone based technology is being used to meet this requirement. A quadcopter can achieve vertical flight in a stable manner and be used to monitor or collect data, delivery in a specific region. With advancing drone technologies and increasing commercial usage, we believe the last mile shipping industry is ripe for disruption by delivery drones. Drones can significantly accelerate delivery times and reduce the human cost associated with the delivery and also to the drone manufacturers. This report examines the value chain and opportunities in the delivery drones market. It also discusses the barriers for adoption. It concludes with our case for drones to handle the last mile of delivery of most lightweight packages
This report represents Quadcopter (QC) as a low weight and low-cost autonomous flight capable Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) for delivering parcel ordered by online by using an android device as its core on-board processing unit. This QC by following Google map can locate and navigate destination. This paper demonstrates the QCs capability of delivering parcel ordered by online and coming back to the starting place. The promising result of this method enables future research on using QC.
