The drone carries a droid that drops off your delivery.
These drone deliveries drop down from up to 300 feet high in a tethered ‘droid’ with its own propellers to target small landing zones like a table.Zipline’s P2 Zip drone can dock at a partnered facility to charge and let down a “droid” for workers to drop a package into.Zipline is revealing its new drone delivery platform today that the company says is capable of making a 10-mile delivery in 10 minutes, precisely placing packages on small targets like a patio table or the front steps of a home.
The new drone, which Zipline calls the Platform 2 Zip, uses a system of wires that lets down the package inside a cute little mini-bus-looking container the company describes as a “delivery droid.” The P2 Zip hovers more than 300 feet above the ground at the delivery point, keeping its blades and noise away from people to let down its tethered droid instead.
The droid has the ability to steer with propellers as it’s coming down, then lands and softly drops its payload. The P2’s delivery system is designed to work as a freestanding dock where employees can walk outside and load up a droid, or it can be installed in a building, where a droid can be let down through a tunnel and wait for someone to load it. The idea here is that the flying Zips could service deliveries from multiple businesses, picking up their payload from different docks as needed, preventing each location from having to manage its own drone setup.
