The Korea Aerospace Agency (KASA) recently successfully tested a novel delivery system designed to connect drones with robots. This technology, co-developed with the Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI), was put through its paces in Sacheon, a city located southwest of Seoul. The test, conducted last month, marks the culmination of field verification efforts that began in March and spanned multiple locations.
The system enables the seamless delivery of heavy cargo to specific destinations without any physical contact between the drone and the robot. KASA and ETRI are currently evaluating the system's performance and safety under various conditions. Subsequent field tests are slated to expand to other regions within the south Gyeongsang Province, commencing later in the month, as reported by KASA.
