Giant tech companies and startups are spending millions of dollars in aerial delivery systems. Most of these projects however failed because of the technical constraints, safety restrictions and also scalability. Although the idea looked good on paper, practical problems such as limited battery life, payload and airspace restrictions, and erratic weather revealed the big weakness. Nevertheless, the projects that have been unsuccessful in delivering packages through drones are currently serving as unforeseen springboards in the field of robotics. Experience of such high-flying projects is being implemented in new, down-to-Earth delivery ...
