Drone Delivery Depot
Inés Garzón, Lee Hovey, Jordan Toy, Belén Fernández Trejo
concept/hive Our proposal is a honeybee biomimicry approach to the distribution industry. We designed an integrated facility that acts as a beehive where our delivery drone colony can be established and developed. Our distribution plan mimics a worker bee’s pollination path, where the drones pursue door-to-door delivery between businesses and patrons to maximize customer access and minimize product packaging, trucking, and delivery time. Delivery services: mail and packages, food orders and groceries, consumer products and medical supplies
