// Technology NEWS // Amazon Unveils Its New Prime Air Delivery Drone
The e-commerce giant plans to launch its service in a few months. The unit that should inaugurate the flights is an ingenious hybrid machine that combines the qualities of an aircraft and a helicopter.
Amazon's Prime Air UAV delivery service is about to be launched. Still "a few more months" and this crazy project should begin as announced at the MARS conference (Machine Learning, Automation, Robotics and Space) currently being held in Las Vegas. A new drone was unveiled on this occasion.
Stereoscopic vision and advanced algorithms
It is a hybrid machine capable of taking off and landing vertically like a helicopter in a small space. But it is as efficient and aerodynamic as an aircraft, which makes it possible to go faster and save batteries.
It easily switches from one mode to the other, in order to adapt to changing weather conditions.
Amazon also explains how to use advanced sensors and algorithms, such as multi-view stereoscopic vision, to detect static objects such as a chimney or moving objects such as a paraglider.
It combines proprietary computer vision and automatic learning algorithms.
Amazon was the first to imagine that it would one day be able to deliver packages by drones in 2013. But it has been taken up by Google, which launched its first commercial link this year in Australia.
Amazon remains focused on a fleet of drones capable of operating within a 15 km radius and delivering orders of less than 5kg in less than 30 minutes.
