Amazon Pharmacy’s drone delivery service, an extension of the Amazon Prime Air project, requires separate sign-up and a yard survey for eligible users in the College Station region. The service utilizes custom-made Prime Air drones with FAA clearance to fly at altitudes between 40 and 120 meters.
Equipped with sensors, cameras, and advanced obstacle avoidance capabilities powered by a neural network, these drones can identify and avoid common obstacles. Upon arriving at the destination, the drone uses computer vision to ensure a safe landing area before releasing the package. Amazon guarantees the accuracy of medication by having a pharmacist at the loading station verify the contents loaded onto the drone.
Although the idea of receiving deliveries via autonomous drones is intriguing, various factors hinder it from becoming the go-to delivery method for logistics companies in the U.S. While some regulatory challenges have been resolved, others remain.
