Flirtey conducts first ship-to-shore drone delivery ZDNet

Flirtey's drones are designed to deliver life-saving aid in areas of humanitarian need. Flirtey, which is conducting a pretty successful PR campaign by performing a bunch of drone delivery "firsts," will be demonstrating the first ship-to-shore delivery by autonomous drone next week. The test is being carried out in partnership with Dr. Timothy Amukele, assistant professor of pathology at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Computer vision and 3D imaging are helping robots find new uses outside the factory. The purpose of the joint mission, which will take place along the New Jersey coastline, is to demonstrate how unmanned aircraft can provide aid in disaster situations.
