Offer description

We are looking for a motivated candidate who wish to develop a holistic delivery system with UAVs in high density urban environments, where façades can interact with drones, allowing the reception and delivery to the house itself.

The proposal includes an element which can receive the package and maintain it in temperature-controlled conditions until the client arrives home.  The system implies a coordinated challenge among several fields: electronics, informatics, UAVs, delivery companies, but also thermal control, architecture… The aim is to achieve an implemented delivery system which will avoid traffic jams and pick-up points, thus facilitating delivery not only for the companies involved but also for the customers, who will only have to install the final container on the façade.
