How Edge Computing Runs Real-Time Drone Delivery Logistics
In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into how edge computing is transforming drone delivery logistics by enabling real-time obstacle avoidance, route recalculations, and package handoffs without cloud round trips. They focus on the case of Zipline, the medical drone delivery company that operates hundreds of daily flights in Rwanda, Ghana, and now parts of the US. Lucas explains how each drone carries an onboard edge processor that runs computer vision models locally, cutting decision latency from hundreds of milliseconds to under 10 milliseconds. Luna raises questions about battery life…
