JD uses L4 autonomous driving solutions to deliver goods in locked-down Wuhan
JD.com’s logistics arm delivered the first batch of goods to a hospital in Wuhan on via its inhouse level 4 (L4) autonomous delivery robots.
Level 4 refers to “high driving automation,” which means that no human intervention is needed as long as the system is operating within a certain geofenced area.
How it Works:
One robot can carry up to 30 parcels, upon the robot’s arrival at its destination, it will send a message to the recipient’s phone with a collection code, which can be input to release the package.
JD.com said on its website that it has transported more than 2.36 million medical and epidemic prevention supplies, including masks, medical gloves, goggles, disinfectants, and other products to major hospitals in Wuhan, Huanggang, and other places in Hubei province as of February 2.
