What's the matter with JD.COM using drones to deliver express delivery?

Recently, several people's children's shoes in JD.COM received express delivery from unmanned vehicles. Some said it was amazing, others said it was a surprise.

There are many models of these unmanned vehicles, all of which are very small, and the tallest ones are almost as tall as normal people.

According to the person in charge of JD.COM, this unmanned vehicle can place five orders at a time, travel 20 kilometers with full charge, and one * * * can carry 100 kg of goods.

After the package is put in, the route is set and the unmanned vehicle begins to deliver the goods silently and automatically.

However, the speed of unmanned vehicles is really slow.

According to JD. This is because on campus, for the sake of safety, the speed will only be kept at 3-5 kilometers per hour, which is similar to walking, or a little faster. They are as fast as electric bicycles. Look at the picture below. The engineer said that the above two devices are both positioning devices. The car body is equipped with various sensors. When a speed bump is detected in front, it will slow down.

If there are obstacles ahead, it will automatically adjust the route. For example, if it hits the roadblock below, it will move the car body and adjust the line to pass. If someone walks a distance ahead, the car will adjust its speed according to the speed of the person to ensure a safe distance from the person.

When it is approaching, the unmanned vehicle will let the system send text messages to users, get the verification code of the package, and let them come down to pick up the package. After waiting for half an hour and no one came down, it issued an order.

But these lines are mainly used to show the process of sending and returning, so only one package is put.

After waiting downstairs for a while, Li Tongxue of Kenichi came down with her mobile phone, entered the verification code on the screen, and the box containing her express was opened.

This classmate seems a little surprised to receive the express delivery of unmanned vehicles for the first time. She said it was a robot in the text message, but it was not true. I think it is amazing.

In the carriage, cabinets vary in size, obviously hoping to adapt to different packaging sizes, but how can the order placed by users every day be only a multiple of these cabinets?

According to the engineer, the car can be roughly divided into two parts: the chassis of the driverless car and the box combination like a honeycomb. Among them, the design of these cabinet combinations is modular, which means that they can be disassembled and combined according to the size of the package.

On another machine, although it looks very similar to the last one, the combination of cabinets is different.

This courier was delivered to the downstairs of the dormitory, belonging to a male classmate. But this time there is no screen, so he doesn't need a verification code. He received a short message with a link. After clicking, the operation interface will pop up. Click "Pick Up" and the cupboard door will open automatically. After the door is closed, the robot baby will return to JD. COM in the distribution point of the national people's congress.

It is reported that there are a large number of sensors and cameras on the car body, especially the front. They are like the eyes of unmanned vehicles. If they are damaged, they will be invisible.

According to the engineer, unmanned vehicles have basic waterproof function, so there is no need to worry about rain or power failure. When the battery is low, the car will automatically return.

Someone at the scene asked, what if a stranger attacks or steals an unmanned vehicle? Hmm (expressing hesitation, etc.) ... Maybe the engineer doesn't know what such a person wants, just saying that there is a camera on the car body, and the engineer can check the environment of the unmanned car in real time by controlling the dispatching desk, and can look around 360 degrees to do a good job in security. Although it can't stop the bad guys, it can let you know who the bad guys are.

The dispatching desk can check the route and operation of the national delivery robot, such as whether it is normal, how far it can go, how much electricity is left, and how the battery temperature is.

According to the console data of 1 1 in the morning, express robots have been put into use in Beijing, Xi, Hangzhou and other places. These robots mainly solve the problem of the last mile of express delivery. At present, it is only used on campus and will be gradually extended to the community in the future.
