想象一下,你一小時前剛在網(wǎng)上訂購的商品,現(xiàn)在就已經(jīng)送到你手中了,而且送貨員還是一個無人機。這不是科幻片,這種無人機快遞員就叫deliverbot。
Deliverbot is a driverless vehicle or unpiloted drone that delivers packages and other cargo. Deliverbots could range from very small (and light) robots the size of a suitcase to full-sized trucks ready to haul heavy cargo.
“無人機快遞員”或“快遞機器人”是負責送包裹或其他貨物的無人機或無人駕駛汽車。它既可以又小又輕,和一個手提箱差不多大,也可以是承載重物的大貨車。
With deliverbots, you will be able to get absolutely anything for sale in a big city about as fast as you can get a pizza today, and it will be cheap. Certainly cheaper than going to a store yourself. Services could also be done by deliverbot. Send out your laundry to a wash and fold. Send out a broken item for repair. In many cases, people might have a car with very little cargo space, and have a deliverbot take their cargo for them while they ride in their car.
有了無人機快遞員,大城市里賣的任何東西你都能迅速到手,就像叫一張批薩那么快,而且價格還很便宜,至少比你去店里買便宜。無人機快遞還可以為你提供其他服務。比如把你的臟衣服送去洗衣房,或是把壞掉的東西送去修理。很多人的私家車存儲空間都很有限,無人機快遞員可以在他們開車的時候幫他們扛行李。
