We deliver everything 2 times faster and 27 times cheaper, thanks to small autonomous delivery-robots

​On December 17th 2020, the European Union explicitly legalized autonomous air delivery

For some reason, the media and the startup ecosystem completely missed this announcement. But on December 17th 2020, the European Union, and by extension many countries in Asia/pacific passed a framework that explicitly legalizes autonomous air delivery drones, as long as they get their drone certified in a very specific, well defined 12 month program.
(see link to official EU announcement)

The FAA in the US is now one of the few countries in the world that still doesn't allow autonomous deliveries, and for some reason, most startups are still banging their head against the wall with the FAA, not realizing that most other countries have legalized it.

By the way, the reason for this difference, at the most basic level, is because in the United States, Helicopters and other Airplanes are allowed to fly as low as they want. So delivery drones are illegal in the US, because they could crash into a helicopter or other airplane. In Europe however, helicopters and other planes are not allowed to fly below 1000 feet over cities. This rule has been in place for decades, and has nothing to do with drones. But it means that drone delivery is allowed, because there is virtually no risk of crashing into a helicopter or airplane. It just took the European Union a few years to prepare the framework, but they finally published it on December 17th 2020. 

​OneSecs goal is to deliver 1 billion meals per year

Restaurant food delivery is extremely slow and expensive. Consumers have to pay up to $30 per meal, and the restaurant only gets $15. The rest gets mostly lost in the delivery cost, because you have to pay a human driver, his/her car insurance, fuel etc. As a result, consumers are only using the food delivery apps 1-2 times per month, because it's not affordable as a daily lifestyle. The deliveries also take too long. Restaurant preparation only takes 10 minutes, but this is followed by a 10 minute waiting time until a driver shows up, and another 15 minutes of delivery time. OneSec virtually eliminates both the waiting time and the delivery time, reducing the total order time from 35 minutes to 12 minutes. And more importantly, it reduces the delivery cost from $9 to $1.

Our Tech

We are building fully autonomous, noiseless, highly reliable food delivery drones.

Our drone is considered by some people to be the most advanced aircraft ever designed. It has the gliding efficiency of some airline jets, but also has all the abilities of a helicopter. We have designed, built and tested more than 300 variants of our aircraft in a wind tunnel to optimize for aerodynamic efficiency and stability. The noise frequency of the propellers is below the human hearing threshold, making it virtually silent. It weighs only 800 grams, has 200 kilometers of range, and more sensors and compute power than any consumer drone. 

On the software side, we have developed one of the worlds largest depth estimation datasets, and we are pushing AI and machine learning technologies to the next level. This AI makes it possible for us to safely deploy a fleet of drones in any given city around the world, where they will be able to navigate fully autonomously and collision free to their destination. We use highly robust control systems and path planning algorithms, and combine them with the most cutting edge machine learning techniques for computer vision and perception. ​
