COVID-19 pandemic has taken a big hit for everyone in the world and Singapore started the very first drone delivery service on 19 April 2020 by delivering vitamins to a ship as to minimize human contact during the Circuit Breaker. At such time of crisis, we need to embrace such innovative invention of technology to help tackling the manpower shortage with the use of drones for services.
The delivery of 2 Kgs of vitamins by the drone to a ship owned by Eastern Pacific Shipping. The journey itself was just over 2.7 km and lasted for seven minutes to reach the destination. This method of delivery is definitely one of the most environmentally friendly for the use of unmanned drones and saving cost as well.
Another method of meal deliveries is launched by Singapore transport operator ComfortDelGro with a fleet of 10,000 taxis. This is to help taxi drivers to have an additional source of income during the Circuit Breaker period of Stay At Home’s notice for non-essential people.
