Amazon wants to have delivery drones that recognize customers and perceive orders
Amazon has filed a patent application for drones that recognize faces and commands by voice and gesture, such as pointing or waving. The idea has a security component, making the drones able to recognize the customers who made the order, avoiding misplacements, and a comfort side.According to the patent application, made in July 2016 and now approved, "the human recipient and / or other humans may communicate with the vehicle using gestures to assist the vehicle during its journey to the delivery location."One of the patent images, discovered by GeekWire, is intended to illustrate a situation of arm movement, which the drone would recognize and could adjust the approach speed or direction of the course.
Approved technology will allow you to control the drone and fragment it into the air to fall into safe areas.
The text details various drone systems, including communication, navigation, or gesture determination. It also points to components such as the possibility of having one or more light sensors, a depth sensor and the existence of cameras, from the more "traditional" to an infrared camera.Like other patents, for now it is just an idea registered in the name of Amazon, and there is no official indication from the online shopping giant that it will become a reality.
