Drone technology is now fully fledged with their functioning and majority of the failures are recovered such as a battery failure, handling the malfunction, hardware issues. It seems that drone will be the next helper and delivery person of the future.  Tech giants are applying this technology for their multipurpose projects such as internet drone from Facebook and Google. Deliveries of medical equipments and medicines are also successfully tested by using these spectacular flying technologies. Now the situation has standing on that platform, where drones technologies by itself asks what else you want me to do, bring it on.

Walmart plans fly drones in it stores to assist you in your shopping

The retail tech giant was on talks for longtime after its launch of drone delivery project. The concept was to deliver the packages through air without any human intervention and at your doorstep. Looking forward to adopt this technique, Walmart also wishes to launch this kind of drone based service to its customers.

It isn’t clear that the retail giant Walmart has filed any patent for a system that can handle the products for the customers at the shopping facility. The control of these retail drones will be at the central unit which will assist the drones flying and avoid collision in stores.

Walmart believes that this technology would be convenient for the shoppers who face procurement issues and for those who are in hurry. Speaking about the practicality of the concept either drones would be accessible to the customers or customer will be kept away from the drones that retrieving the items.

Possibility is drone will pick the said items from the warehouse of the store or products will be placed on the top shelves.  Walmart is trying it’s hardest to stay relevant as the numbers of online shoppers have increased in large numbers.

This concept by Walmart that is termed as In-store drone assistants look like a practical and reliable idea, so it will be quiet interesting to see where this undisclosed patent will take the mart.

Introduction of this in-door drone may also cut some jobs at Walmart but will also create some of the extra-efficient skilled jobs.

The suspect found a ke...

New cash machines: withdraw money with veins in your finger Cash machine technology that reads the pattern of finger veins is already available in Japan and Poland   By Telegraph Reporters 6:59PM BST 15 May 2014 Cash machines could soon be installed with devices that identify customers by reading the veins in their fingers. The technology is already being rolled out in Poland, where 1,730 cash machines will this year be installed with readers, negating the need for a debit card and Pin. Developed by Hitachi, the Japanese electronics firm, the machines read the patterns of the veins just below the surface of the skin on your finger using infra-red sensors. The light is partially absorbed by haemoglobin in the veins to capture a unique finger vein pattern profile, which is matched to a profile. The technology is used by Japanese banks and also in Turkey, offering “groundbreaking levels of accuracy and speed of authentication”, Hitachi said, which in t...
