Singapore Post teams up with IDA to develop first drone for mail delivery

Singapore Post has partnered with the Infocomm Development Authority of Singapore to use an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), or drone, for mail delivery.

A last mile mail and packet drone delivery trial was successfully completed between Lorong Halus and Pulau Ubin, it says.

The drone, which was built upon the Pixhawk Steadidrone Platform, was used by IDA Labs to meet the new conceptual delivery platform from SingPost, and tailored for use in Singapore.

SingPost’s exploration of the drone technology is a move to provide enhanced end-to-end solutions to facilitate urban logistics as well as tap on the growing e-commerce growth in Asia Pacific, it adds.

The B2C e-commerce market in Asia Pacific is expected to reach US$175 billion ($249 billion) by 2016.
