# Mailman-Eliminating Drone Couriers These On-Demand Delivery Drones Can Carry Items Up to 500 grams By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-12-31 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/delivery-drones References: [springwise](http://www.springwise.com/courier-drones-postman/) & [sky.bizzby](http://sky.bizzby.com/) These delivery drones have the potential to get rid of mailmen all together. Bizzby Sky provide on-demand [drone couriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-eat-takeawaycom) that can carry small items, enabling people to send and receive things weighing up to 500 grams across the city (or 400 feet). Based in London, the [courier drone fleet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-matrice-400) is designed for individual use. This could affect local post, but mail services for national and international purposes would still be necessary. Cameras on board ensure the delivery drones are private and secure as they capture live footage while also pixelating anything that could be identified. Intelligent real-time sensors allow the drones to navigate obstacles, ensure safety and avoid collisions. The BIZZBY app allows you to pick up, drop off or request delivery drones in a matter of seconds. Home GPS coordinates and a 'redundant battery' make the drone come home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 29% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/robots) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Drone Delivery Services:** Drone delivery services have the potential to revolutionize the courier industry by providing efficient, fast, and reliable delivery options that outperform traditional delivery methods. - **On-demand Drones:** On-demand drone services present an innovative opportunity to provide customized deliveries for people and businesses on a time-sensitive basis. - **Intelligent Real-time Sensors:** Intelligent real-time sensors present an innovative opportunity to improve drone navigation, obstacle avoidance, and safety. ### Who This Affects Most - **Courier and Delivery Services:** Courier and delivery service companies have the opportunity to integrate drone delivery services into their operations to improve delivery speed, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. - **E-commerce:** E-commerce companies can leverage drone delivery services to provide faster and more reliable shipping for their customers, potentially increasing customer loyalty and sales. - **Security and Surveillance:** Security and surveillance companies can leverage the intelligent real-time sensors on delivery drones to improve their own operations, potentially leading to improved security and public safety. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intercity Cargo Delivery Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-express.md) - [Logistical Heavy-Duty Delivery Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-flycart-100.md) - [Temperature-Resistant Delivery Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/temperatureresistant-delivery-drones.md) - [Streamlined Drone Delivery Networks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drone-delivery-network.md) - [Medication Delivery Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-pharmacy-1.md) - [Contactless Medication Delivery Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/medicine-delivery-drone.md) - [End-To-End Parcel Delivery Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/endtoend-parcel-delivery-platform.md) - [Autonomous Commercial-Ready Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fixar-007.md) - [Autonomous VTOL Cargo Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vtol-cargo-drone.md)
