2024: Launch of drone docking stations and delivery robots

In Russia, in September 2024, the country's first production of docking stations for drones and delivery robots began. This project was implemented by the Moscow company Dronshab, which is a participant in the NTI Aeronet market. According to the general director of the company Maxim Tomsky, such docking stations will solve the problem of delivering goods of the "last mile" in conditions where ordinary drone ports cannot cope.

According to RIA Novosti, the key feature of these docking stations is their bilateral purpose: the upper part is intended for landing drones, and the lower part is intended for parking wheeled rovers. Thus, after the unmanned aerial vehicle delivers the cargo, the rover takes it and moves it to the final recipient. The rover operates autonomously or under the control of an operator who can be anywhere in the country. It is important that the docking station performs simultaneously the functions of a hangar for rovers, where they can recharge and receive new tasks.

Maxim Tomskikh also added that such developments have no analogues in the Russian market yet. Dronshab plans to introduce them at three Russian industrial sites. This step will significantly improve the efficiency of logistics, especially in limited conditions where conventional drones face difficulties in delivery.

The delivery rover, developed by Dronshab, is capable of carrying goods weighing up to 150 kg at speeds up to 20 km/h. Battery life without recharging is up to 6 hours. While moving, the rover transmits the video stream to the operator, which allows you to control the delivery process in real time. This makes the system flexible and convenient for both automatic mode and remote control.^[1]
