Like electric bikes, city centre bike hire, driverless cars, and so on. Now, it seems that anything is actually possible, it is just&nbsp; a matter of the most appropriate approach being implemented so it seems only a matter of time before driverless delivery systems appear.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Dubbie</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=7007&AppID=141&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/technologies/industrial-automation-space/b/blog/posts/5-delivery-and-factory-robots-about-to-take-a-lot-of-jobsWed, 08 May 2019 17:19:14 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:f0f039ea-1142-4aa5-a187-83a8e124b7ef14rhb0<p>I can see real utility in delivering vital medical supplies via drone, especially in busy cities or where there is lack of roads (or roads are damaged after a disaster) or dificult terrain. I think the idea of remote robots on the ground is less useful as they will be far more vulnerable to interfering/crowds/obstacles etc unless they are the size of a car.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Rod</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=7007&AppID=141&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
