Flying robots are also being tested to be used for this purpose and they are expected to be faster and more reliable than drones. Moreover, it is being experimented that how these machines can be made more cost-efficient and more flexible to allow catering to a large number of applications in the logistics and transport industry.
In future, transport drones will be developed with sense-and-avoid technology. It will enable them to sense obstacles in order to avoid colliding with them in mid-air. If companies decide to deliver their products to customers through drones, they will need to make sure that the package is not lost in transit.
