Robotic Delivery: Imagine, when you order something online, a robot knocks on your door! No wonder, because the world’s first public automated physical AI delivery network has gone commercial in Gurugram, India.
How are these ‘Sky Ships’ and ‘Autobots’ working?
This whole process is nothing short of a science-fiction movie. Here the product reaches the destination without any human intervention:
Sky Ship: These special drones fly in the sky with products.
Arrival Point: It is a smart secure box. Drones drop products into these boxes. It acts as a bridge between sky and earth.
Autobots: Small robots or ‘autobots’ collect the product from the box and go straight to the customer’s door.
Who is behind this revolution?
A joint venture between Sky Air Mobility and Arrive AI currently has four state-of-the-art AI Skyports operational in Sector 102, Gurugram. Experts believe that if this 2026 model is successful, drone delivery will soon become commonplace in other Indian cities as well.
Elon Musk’s ‘Optimus’ can do everyday housework
Technology doesn’t just stop at delivery. Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently demonstrated the capabilities of his humanoid robot Optimus Gen 2. This robot can walk on two legs, fold clothes and even serve food like a human.
Technology vs employment?
As this incredible improvement will save time and provide perfect service, the question arises – will robots take over the work place of ordinary people? But for now, Gurugram’s skies and roads are opening up a new horizon of technology.
