Amazon Delivery Drones Could Soon Understand Humans

in amazon •  7 years ago 

Amazon has been awarded a patent that will let its package delivery drones recognize human movement and voice.

The online-shopping giant wants to shave delivery times down to just 30 minutes and plans to take to the sky to achieve it. Awarded on Tuesday (March 20), the patent would allow for drones to identify gestures such as a thumbs-up, frantic waving, shaking fists and a shooing motion.

Filed in July 2016, the patent also identifies voice recognition as a future control input for strangers. Someone who is bothered by a nearby drone would be able to shout for it to leave.BBKCNNO.img.png
