UAV Logistics Technology: Challenges and Prospects

Abstract

With the vigorous development of e-commerce, the field of logistics distribution is facing more and more challenges. In order to meet the growing demand for delivery and enhance the shopping experience of consumers, drone logistics technology has gradually attracted attention. In recent years, drone technology has made great progress in the field of logistics distribution. However, its development still faces many challenges. These include the lack of technological maturity, legal and regulatory restrictions, security and other issues. At the same time, drones flying in urban environments need to overcome many obstacles, such as air traffic control and ground obstacles. Despite the challenges, the application prospects of drone logistics technology are still broad. Especially in the field of end-city delivery, drones can break through the limitations of traditional delivery methods, improve delivery efficiency and reduce costs. Through the comprehensive utilization of distribution resources such as drones and vehicles, the optimization and coordination of distribution networks are expected to further promote the development of the logistics industry. The future research direction will focus on the precision delivery of UAV logistics, the optimization of logistics supply chain and the collaborative application of multiple distribution methods. In view of the existing problems, this paper puts forward some improvement suggestions, including strengthening technology research and development, improving relevant laws and regulations, and improving flight safety. At the same time, future research should pay more attention to the collaborative operation of drones and other distribution methods, as well as the application exploration in specific scenarios, so as to provide effective support for the further development of UAV logistics technology.
