In a Dutch café, a drone called "Blue Jay" is ordering and delivering food to customers.
The drone, named "Blue Jay", was developed by 20 university students at Eindhoven University of Technology over a period of 9 months and was unveiled in this special way on the 60th anniversary of Eindhoven University of Technology.
The drone looks like a small white flying saucer with a pair of "eyes". When a guest orders, "Blue Jay" flies to the table, scans the menu of the guest's choice, and then uses the "paws" below to deliver food to the customer.
The cost of making a "Blue Jay" is about 2,000 euros, in addition to the common GPS, it is also equipped with multiple sensors including lidar, indoor positioning system, etc., which can work in a crowded building.
The application of "Blue Jay" is endless, such as as a fire extinguisher to extinguish the fire, as an alarm system to warn of someone invading, and even as a personal assistant who can hand you an apple.
In terms of application scenarios, drones have a lot of space for application imagination, but there are new problems in applying to real life. The news that restaurant robots have been dismissed before is a reminder of the gap between ideals and reality.
Robots, drones, or drones, we're trying to get them into our lives, enriching and facilitating our lives. One day, technology like drones will popularize our lives, but it still needs to be worked on, but let's look forward to it together.
