Chapter 296 [This is the City Life of the Future]
It is worth mentioning that unmanned logistics, Changfeng District pilot has been a series of preparations since last year.
At this moment, the media and industry insiders at the press conference are focused on the big screen, the location in the video is in Changfeng District, and the hive headquarters of Tianqing Technology Group can be clearly seen in the aerial footage at high altitude, which is unique in the entire Changfeng District, and now it is an indisputable landmark here.
The staff outside the venue had already been ready, and as soon as the scheduled time arrived, the reporters on the scene and the melon-eating netizens who watched the live broadcast of the press conference saw that more than 200 DJI drones were dispatched at the delivery site, and the scene of lifting off was spectacular.
After the drones were lifted off, all the spectators were amazed to see them take off in an orderly manner along an invisible channel, and after rising to an altitude of seventy or eighty meters, they began to fly horizontally and no longer ascended.
Because of the guidance of radar signals, a complex transportation network is formed at an altitude of 80 meters, which is invisible to the naked eye, and all drones will sail according to the established course and will definitely not exceed half a step.
Each drone maintains a uniform relative distance and flight speed.
At the press conference, an industry insider was shocked when he looked at the live video broadcast: "To ensure that each machine performs its own duties, how strong does this distribution system have to be?" ”
It seems to be similar to the sorting system of the logistics workshop, but senior industry insiders are very clear about the gap between the two.
The complexity of the outdoor is not comparable to that of the workshop, and the area is also incredibly large, which is even more complex, which requires the perfect realization of the central processing and the entire distribution system to be able to adjust all the sudden variables in time.
The industry insiders couldn't help but sigh: "Probably only the omnipotent Tianqing Technology can do it." ”
At the same time, another location, which is where the drone flew at the moment, has placed more than 200 parcels, both express parcels and takeaway parcels.
In fact, express parcels and takeaway parcels are like containers in the port, the size, quality and volume are all unified standards, and the express delivery or takeaway packages are placed in this package and then delivered to the distribution point.
A few minutes later, more than 200 drones arrived, and the next picture was extremely amazing, because all the drones arrived almost together, so most of them hovered in the established airspace, as if vehicles were waiting for traffic lights.
The drone in the front row began to land according to the prescribed guidance lane, and there was a camera and hook under the gimbal of the drone.
A drone descends smoothly over a small parcel box at a distribution point, and through image recognition, altimeter and pull sensing, people witness the first attempt of the drone to hang on a hook in the air.
The first time it failed.
The second time, the drone's hook docking was completed, the controller confirmed and locked, and the drone began to lift off and enter the delivery process with this parcel box.
Even if you fail once, the time taken is limited to less than 10 seconds.
Then came the second, the third, and so on......
At the same time as liftoff, the image recognition on the drone scanned the identification code on the parcel box, which corresponds to the time-sensitive code.
The UAV feeds back the scanned identification information to the central computer, and the background program immediately completes the decoding, and feeds back the information to the UAV from the distribution system, so it obtains a real-time navigation route, that is, the delivery route of the delivery address, and is the current shortest travel route given by the computer through the calculation results, and the UAV receives the feedback signal and flies and delivers according to the navigation route.
At the same time, other drones also entered the delivery route with their own packages, and then people saw that more than 200 drones no longer flew in a dense line as before, and some of them had the same route during a certain flight, and some drones changed their course after a certain distance.
More than two hundred drones were soon scattered in various locations in the Changfeng area.
At this moment, there are many people on the ground in Changfeng District who are shooting at the sky, as a pilot of unmanned logistics, people in Changfeng District have long known about this matter.
It is undeniable that this incident has been fiercely opposed by a large number of local citizens in Changfeng District, because people are afraid of the harm of high-altitude throwing objects, in case the parcel box suspended by the drone is unhooked and hits the ground, if it hits someone, the consequences are unimaginable.
Although the operator has passed technical means and big data analysis, it has been clarified that this situation will basically not happen, and it is a very small probability event, and even the probability of occurrence is only 1% of the probability of a car accident in the Changfeng area.
But the citizens still don't accept it, because they are too insecure psychologically, and there are several pounds of parcel boxes flying above their heads, which is not steady, and I am afraid that they will not even dare to go out of the door in the future.
In the end, this contradiction was finally resolved.
It is not mandatory to ignore the opposition of the locals, but to squeeze out a safe zone between the road and the sidewalk with an emergency lane width standard, and the drone flight path is over this safe zone, and if the hanging parcel box comes off the hook and falls, it will also fall into the safety zone, which is forbidden for people to step into.
At present, the pilot project in Changfeng District has been reconstructed according to the UAV channel network, and the main reconstruction task is to add railings to distinguish lanes, safety areas, and sidewalks.
Each goes its own way, so as to solve the problem of falling objects from high altitudes that the public is worried about.
As for the drone passing through the air above the fork or intersection, this is really no way, it is impossible to build a high-altitude safety corridor, the cost is unacceptable, and this is a small probability in a small probability event, but when designing the air channel network, it is also to avoid zebra crossings and campuses as much as possible.
The citizens of Changfeng District are also very understanding, after all, in terms of probability, the harm of food delivery riders walking on the ground is even greater.
……
It is said that the drone that delivered the pizza has flown 1.3 kilometers, near a community in Changfeng District, there are also media reporters and relevant staff at this moment, which is a community receiving station set up.
There is a large and striking "H" in the clearing, which marks the landing area.
"It should be almost there, and the real-time delivery information above shows that the estimated arrival time is already within 30 seconds." A staff member looked at the screen of his mobile phone, and a staff member next to him was shooting, pushing the picture to the big screen at the press conference and the eyes of the audience watching the live broadcast.
Sure enough, not long after the words fell, a drone visible to the naked eye appeared in the sky, and under everyone's gaze, the drone landed in the designated landing area of the big "H".
It is worth mentioning that if the live image recognition system on the drone scans that there are people in the designated landing area of the big "H", it will hover in the air, and at this time the system determines that it cannot land, and it will land safely only when people leave the landing area, including some animals and the like.
At this moment, the drone landed slowly, and everyone witnessed the smooth landing of the hanging parcel box, and the hook on the drone sensed the change in the pull data, as well as the height comparison with the designated landing area, and collected these two data to determine whether the parcel box has been in contact with the ground.
At this time, the hook fell off, and the drone was still running in the air, and when it was successfully decoupled, it did not stay for a moment, and immediately lifted off and extended it.
A staff member immediately came to the landing area to pick up the parcel box that had not been delivered, and after opening it, everyone shared the fresh pizza delivery in a joyful way.
One of the staff members holding a piece of pizza smiled at the live camera and said: "I am now playing the staff of the receiving station, this job can also be done by the property management staff of the community, and the takeaway or express delivery to the door, of course, according to the boss's meaning, this is not the optimal solution, in the foreseeable future, the robot will replace me, complete the home delivery." ”
"That's the beauty of technology!!"
At the same time, at the press conference, Gu Cheng stood on the stage and watched the live broadcast without saying a word, and at this time, the audience suddenly ushered in a burst of warm applause and cheers.
But everyone didn't have time to marvel, because the picture switched to a drone again, showing its first perspective, and there was a drone in front of it.
At this time, Gu Cheng said with a smile: "They are also off work!" ”
Everyone laughed, but their eyes did not take off the live broadcast screen, and at this moment the drone was flying towards a strange-looking building, which was strange because of the large number of dense regular hexagonal honeycomb channels on the front of the building, and this building was like a huge beehive.
The drone kept approaching the building, eventually passing through one of the passages in full view of everyone.
With the live footage on the drone, everyone was able to see the scene inside, which is a picture full of technology, the drone lands smoothly on a take-off and landing platform, and the engine is turned off.
The following picture also amazed all the witnesses.
The drone seems to have entered an assembly line, and after landing, it is automatically transferred to a track, and along the way it begins to undergo a comprehensive physical examination, including testing the structure of the aircraft, and using the data feedback system to determine whether the drone needs structural life extension, maintenance, or complete scrapping.
This is an unmanned workshop, everything is controlled by a central computer, the major mechanical modules are distributed and executed, and only a few scattered people monitor the overall situation in the control room.
Fortunately, after the drone completed the physical examination, the data showed that it was very "healthy", and then it was automatically replaced with a full energy storage superconducting battery on the "assembly line", and the one was taken to other distribution areas, which was naturally charged and then put into storage.
The drone began to continue the delivery mission, flying out of the building through the honeycomb channel on the other side, and re-entering the delivery sequence.
The 18-minute live demonstration, by focusing on a drone, allows people to understand how it is delivered, and returns to the whole process of hive inspection, warehousing, and re-attendance.
With the end of the live broadcast, the picture on the big screen became Gu Cheng on the stage, and he smiled and said calmly: "Smart logistics, smart city, this is the solution launched by Tianqing Technology, this is the future of urban life!" ”
