This company deserves more recognition for their engineering feats and all the more
Trust me bro they gets lots of recognition.
Not really, it's impractical and mostly charity funded for taking food and water to impoverished areas of Africa. They get MORE than enough recognition. If only Musk bought it and turned it into a profitable company...
They should deliver ducks and purple feather dye
Specially because of doing service in Rwanda, Kenya, etc countries
@@BhartiyaCricketFanexactly!
It's crazy how much engineering goes into making this all work.
What's also really neat is that it seems to use mostly off the shelf components. The innovation is in how they integrate everything together
Its just an RC airplane
Rwanda: “This helps us deliver life-saving medicines!”
United States: “Fast cookies!”
US main thing is to make people lazy and fat and main thing is for food deliverys so people stay at home and dont go outside
The US does not have nearly as much need for such medical aid per average citizen and has very good logistics already set in place for most needs.
The US does have extremely strict and slow-to-change rules regarding both medicine and flight. Zipline may already be investigating delivering things like transplant organs, which is something that would be useful here in the states.
The US has enough money to buy gourmet cookies. Zipline picked their market and went for what had immediate and lasting potential. Good for them.
The US also has enough money to support a startup who could use help helping people in less fortunate countries and expanding into other places. Good for everybody.
Because drones with meds would be dropping bankruptcies on people in US, they can only afford cookies :)
@@VoltisArtTo be fair, the US does have a lot of very rural areas and lack of viable blood for transfusion could absolutely be an issue, it doesn't keep indefinitely after all. So the US surely could benefit from it for healthcare reasons. Of course then the person would probably have to pay $50,000 for living. You really should watch the original video though, they did all that without start-up money essentially, it's really impressive.
That pretty much sums up modern corporate America for ya... (Responding to the OG comment)
Imagine how cool it would be ordering food in backcountry while hiking in the middle of nowhere.
This is the type of innovation and startup that I love. Well done Zipline.
Interesting at 4:30 about the audio sensors! I vaguely remember that the drone-lab at University of Pennsylvania had found a way to modulate the prop speeds of their quadcopters between all 4 blades to create a 'beat pattern' which acted as a phased array sonar which allowed them to both sonically map 3 dimensional spaces and to navigate through unkown areas- e.g. drones flyling down a hallway, through an atrium, or most impressively a drone that could autonomously fly down a hallway to find a specifically numbered room.
To do that you don't really need such an overcomplicated sonar. There are established off-the-shelf components like lidar and time-of-flight cameras that let you map your surroundings with ease.
The sonic mapping may help detecting tricky things like mirrors and windows though.
@@u1zha bruh imagine cameras
@@urnoob5528 sonar is short for so gnarly
"its the future, and i want some cookies right now!" best sentence ever
Yeah, that's pretty awesome
Wow, this all so cool. The launching, the microphones, the drones getting snatched out of the air
Being such a small company, Zipline had to use their resources more effectively than something like Amazon. This forced them to be more innovative.
I wonder who they deliver for and how all that contracting works.
Also having to do much less "fake work" to justify a job's existence, like many high-paying positions, rather focusing their budget on important things.
Mark Rober did a fantastic video about this. I'm glad the company's getting more recognition.
I was about to say didn't mark Robert do a video on this
@@bradenblickstein6855he mentions that at the beginning :)
@@bradenblickstein6855 Yes, and it's referenced at 3:05
@@licencetoswill I saw it earlier at 0:16.
Accept all cookies
I love the last scene. The landscape and the clouds are so beautiful.
2019 was the year i found this chanell , little did i know that it would change my entire life. I eventualy ended up getting way higher grades in science in school and went on to taking 3 science degrees in college . It has been so fun so far watching this chanell , i cant wait to see your next experiments
Heck yeah I love that you showed this on your channel I first saw it on marks and I love how you explained it. You amazing guys!
As someone who used to package fragile medication for shipping, I'd like to give props and recognition to that part of the team, as well. Prob not dropping any cakes from there yet, but I'm sure they're working on it. Good thing you ordered soft cookies ;)
This is really awesome. I imagine this will be developed to use during wartime before long.
Those cookies came in hot, that impact looked significant...yet cookies in tact! Amazing stuff.
When they can deliver eggs like this, then I'll be impressed.
Smart engineering. There will be weight limits but nevertheless this is genius!
Idk
This got me emotional
Seeing this is almost like a scene from future. It's just unbelievable how cruel some people are yet some other people are so inventing.
Not trying to say like it's the "cure for cancer" type of invention, but one of most representative ones for sure.
I'm always amazed thank you
Awesome. Thanks👍
Aaaa what?! I had seen Mark Rober's video from Rwanda, and hey presto they already are coming to a city close to me? That's one properly successful hard tech business! The best of success to them! And now let's blow my mind further with the microphones thing. Thank you, my jaw is on the floor already.
Makes me want to move to Utah or Arkansas just to use them for deliveries. Hopefully they set up in Texas too at some point.
It's funny how everyone pictured drone-copters in the beginning but of course it would be planes that would be what gets picked since they are just so much more efficient and faster
Zipline actually has both. They have quad drones with a tethered drop-down box (with its own added control for extra precision) for pinpoint deliveries that don't directly expose the end customer to the loud and dangerous part of the drone. The planes, I think, are really where their innovation shines, however.
@@VoltisArt They need some V-22 kind of VTOL plane.
US Military: “They think all of our aircraft make noise. Cute.”
Bats don't complain about silent prey.
Now read Henrik Nilsson, "DRONAR: Obstacle echolocation using ego-noise
DRONAR: Egenljudsekolokalisering av hinder"
Great company and vision. The main barrier seems to be regulatory approval. I wonder will mass drone deliveries be possible for big cities as they are in rural areas.
They can go 7 miles on a calm day but have to return quickly before the battery runs out. Ya dont want them things falling out of the sky
lmao, they you miss the mass disapproval for amazon using drones to deliver things?
I live in Arkansas and didn’t even know this is here. Cool. Thanks.
Amazon about to buy them
They are not for sale.
too much of an gimick.
Wow. I’m blown away. I saw Marks videos but this is excellent supplemental information
My neighborhood and yard is mostly covered in dense, shady trees. For that reason I don’t see this ever happening for some areas like mine. Will need to more precise, hovering copter style drone.
Check out the (P2) version
Just don't order the cake!
This was a very interesting video. I would think that you would need a area of a certain size to have something delivered to you. It would suck if your package got caught in a wind and ended up on your roof. That being said I am sure that they are always working on improving how they work and how to make them better.
or if it landed on your kid or your dog
Looks like they’ve done an exceptional job!!! Especially since the park is family owned!!!! Great Halloween Event Gatorland!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍
oh wow, now that is one way to get cookies and they didn't even break
This would be soo useful in remote regions of Alaska.
Dude, your lawn is immaculate.
That's someone else's lawn XD
@@brando3342yeah I caught that later
Pretty sure my kids and I stood in line right in front of your family at Lagoon. I was going to ask if you were that RUclipsr guy (I couldn’t remember your channel name at the moment).
Hope your family had a good time. My son would’ve love to get a pic with you but I didn’t want to bother your fam and now my 10 year old son is disappointed. Keep on making awesome videos!
The sad thing is the weight limit. The drones have a really low weight capasity.
Would be really useful for medicine delivery in areas
@@hithere5553 I dont remember which country that has that system or the company's name.
But there's a drone company that does deliver meds and other necessities to places where cars can't go and other remote locations by using drones that look more like rc planes with boxes on them. When they get an order, they put the item in a cardboard box and then into the drone, and then launch them with a pneumatic launch rail. When the drone gets to the target location, they drop the box with a parachute and return home. On the base, the drone is captured by a wire. They deliver tens of thousands of cargoes in less than a month. They have many drones in a charging station, so they can launch continuously without waiting for one drone to be charged before they can launch the next one.
@@hithere5553In Rwanda, Zipline has a launch bace that delivers meds and other necessities to hospitals and people who need them with drones that look like RC planes. The package is dropped with parachute. They launch the drone with pneumatic rails, and when they return, they are captured by a wire.
Ingenuity-eering at its best
Start-ups cannot overcome the No Fly zones in lots of areas.
i think why they are delivering cookies by drone is to test the enforcement of the faa rule that scrapped amazon drone delivery.
basically like a child sneaking out hoping the parents are not watching
It's just a matter of time before Casey Neistat finds someone to supersize this and deliver him.
Mam nadzieję że ciastka były od góry zabezpieczone jakąś folią antywstrząsowa ponieważ przy tym upadku to takie duże kruche ciastka mogły zostać poważnie uszkodzone. Przypomina mi się moment w którym to pewna znana firma kurierska do każdej przesyłki nie wymagającej (ale to może moje zdanie) do rzucenia folii bąbelkowej dodaję jej w nadmiarze
This can be grow up in military missions for supporting peoples in danger areas with food and water after a fire, storm or other catastrophic things.
Very impressive! As far as i know there is no such delevery drone here in France but it would be great😮
This is awesome. Love technology
Amazing engineering. I wonder where the loud bang came from when it got caught by the snag line?
i think it’s just the impact because it’s going really fast and the snag line has to slow it down
Absolutely fascinating engineering
Action Lab should know when to use an apostrophe
How much did those 4 cookies end up costing, including shipping?
LOL 5 bucks for the cookies, $34.99 shipping 🤣
@@brando3342 But when I'm out roughing it in the wilderness, I can get instant cookies!
@@Sonny_McMacsson 😂 True!
with word zipline I was imaging drones setting up ziplines real quick and sending huge amount of packages down the zipline. That way drones don't need to have big batteries or carrying capabilities.
Always learn what fuel/source places the power into your walls in the city/region to which you live. The consumer is only part of the power supply line.
I can't wait to order food with this in the future, no tips either.
Do what then, the poor delivery people? MMmm!
@@YodaWhat they can go work for this company, thats how it works isn't it
Still waiting for my grand piano delivery.
Just imagine your mum sends you a howler instead like in Harry Potter😂
The sound of a drone flying towards you, could it be a cookie or a suicide drone? We'll find out!
He opens the package...there are his cookies. All perfect...not a crumb. Not a Crack or break. The packaging is a flimsy paper box with no padding of any kind. We saw how hard it hit the ground. D9es anyone believe those cookies were dropped there? I don't! 😂
And that's the way the cookie crumbles. 😅
Ahhh, so that's what accept cookies means.
Me- Mommy, where do babies come from?
Mom- A drone brings them.
Dang, they created a freakin CATOBAR delivery drone. The US Navy is taking notes.
Ooo exciting! I wonder when they will come the New Zealand? (Sees map) Ah. Nevermind.
Not quick enough... send my brownies by hypersonic mini- missile, please.
I think the challenge with Zipline system is the launch site/pad infrastructure and integrating it with stores and restaurants. Compare it with like a Wing delivery system which doesn't need much infrastructure and drone can take off from the ground, which can easily be used more locally by stores and food joints.
The vast majority of Amazon's customers live in apartment buildings, that is why it is taking them longer to develop. We don't have yards to pick up orders parachuted-in :)
1:04 I was expecting a much softer landing; that could make a mess!
Definitely do not order soufflé!
@@YodaWhat Or pizza even. I think they need to work on that.
Really shows how easily passion can overpower big money.
How heavy can the payload be?
this couldnt come sooner
We have local drone delivery here.
Should order a pizza, then set the delivery point on the roof of the breaking bad house 🤣 just imagine that angry old lady watching a pizza parachute down onto her roof after she put up the fence to stop people from throwing pizzas 🤣
They probably can’t deliver vases yet. The impact still seems to be a bit strong.
Ok, and how does zipline get cookies?
They should drop a package through someone's chimney and literally become santa.
Damn! That thing came down with some force! lol
Yeah, as amazing as this is, I'm surprised hardly anyone is pointing out that issue! Definitely couldn't be used with a "handle with care" package!
I love this 🎉
Skeet shooting with prizes
that's so cool
Do they sell your location data and do they service remote regions of the US? Whats the payload weight cap? Charge for delivery? Living off road could be a viable option (if you're healthy)
Array of good questions posed you. MMmm!
The only situation I can see where this would be really helpful would be if you lived in a remote area with no normal delivery services. If the drone is too lightweight, it's probably no good for things like grocery delivery, though. And if you live somewhere very remote, that might be the kind of delivery that you're most interested in.
I live in a rural area, and can still get absolutely anything I want delivered through delivery apps...groceries, take-out, items from non-grocery stores (like pet stores, home goods stores, book stores, children's toy/gift stores, etc.), alcohol and cannabis (for those that partake), prescriptions. The list is pretty endless.
Using this service to get medicine or other medical supplies to remote areas of countries is still probably the best use for it.
I am excited for the drone delivery future.
In indonesia, we have 15 minutes grocery deliveries here, with motorbike,..
1:05 imagine delivering a nuclear warhead
Say it like a PIRATE! "Ye DRONES delivered me cookies!"
While this is amazing I would like to see how they tackle heavier products
Delivering to apartment and condo dwellers is going to be a problem.
I just realized how badly I want to see you and steve mould do a video together
Yap ... this is the future
I work here and the product they're making is nothing short of amazing.
That’s a great lead in line
and if you live within 5 miles of an airport and in one of the landing paths you can forget about getting service... according to the FAA I cant even fly my drone in my front yard due to the area I live in....
This is actually a mind bogling innovation on delivery service, but this innovation can't be applied to a crowded residental area, or maybe they will add another inovation for it.
I can catch items when plane is airborne💡💡
Sooo awesome
So cool!
Also, I love your shirt dude.
I would still prefer a jetpack to be able to nip to my local shop and buy milk and tea bags 😁
At my age and in my health, it's difficult walking there even though I used to be able to do it in only 5 minutes. Definitely, a jet pack for me 😅
Wow, the future is already here😃
us military enters the chat.
Now drone delivery 🚚 be fastest local delivery.. probably replace deliveries like zomato swiggy.
I would expect a bit soft landing of my cookies 😂
*Amazon left the room
1:05 That was a rough landing! I guess you shouldn't get anything fragile delivered by drone unless they improve the parachute.
Depends on the padding.
there's always home delivery
