Delivery Drones
Drones are becoming more and more accepted in our society. The market for consumer drones has never been bigger, so is the interested of the big companies in these technologies. An sector which shows great interest is the online retail sector. These companies could use drones to delivery there packages to the costumer in minutes instead of days. These drones will fly, most of the time, autonomously. Many of the problems with these kind of deliveries have been solved. The results are that drones can now reach a certain GPS-coordinated without major problems. The only problem that is still there is the problem of the so called 'last meters'. The moment where the drone needs to land and is going to interacted with the untrained costumer. There are two problems which need to be solved first before the package can be handed over to the costumer: the drone needs to find a safe landing spot and what is the best way to approach the costumer.
 
The first problem, landing the drone safely, is the last problem with regards to autonomous flying. Nowadays companies, Amazon for example, are relying on the costumer to chose a safe landing spot. But to make drone delivery as easy for the costumer as possible, the drone needs to do this all on its own.
 
The second problem is concerned with the experience of the costumer during the last phase of the delivery. If the costumer feels threatened by the drone during landing and take off, the chance will be lowered for choosing drone delivery the next time the costumer orders something. So if approaching the costumer and the landing distance can be determined where the costumer still feels safe the market for drone delivery will really take off.

Drones are becoming more and more accepted in our society. The market for consumer drones has never been bigger, so is the interested of the big companies in these technologies. An sector which shows great interest is the online retail sector. These companies could use drones to delivery there packages to the costumer in minutes instead of days. These drones will fly, most of the time, autonomously. Many of the problems with these kind of deliveries have been solved. The results are that drones can now reach a certain GPS-coordinated without major problems. The only problem that is still there is the problem of the so called 'last meters'. The moment where the drone needs to land and is going to interacted with the untrained costumer. There are two problems which need to be solved first before the package can be handed over to the costumer: the drone needs to find a safe landing spot and what is the best way to approach the costumer.

The first problem, landing the drone safely, is the last problem with regards to autonomous flying. Nowadays companies, Amazon for example, are relying on the costumer to chose a safe landing spot. But to make drone delivery as easy for the costumer as possible, the drone needs to do this all on its own.

The second problem is concerned with the experience of the costumer during the last phase of the delivery. If the costumer feels threatened by the drone during landing and take off, the chance will be lowered for choosing drone delivery the next time the costumer orders something. So if approaching the costumer and the landing distance can be determined where the costumer still feels safe the market for drone delivery will really take off.
