Onesec builds AI‑first autonomous delivery drones that fly directly to restaurant storefronts, balconies or doorsteps using computer‑vision navigation, eliminating the need for dedicated landing infrastructure. By operating without drivers or fuel stops, the drones cut delivery costs by up to 90% and reduce typical 5.9 km delivery times to under 12 minutes, enabling scalable, low‑cost last‑mile logistics for food, grocery and e‑commerce providers.

Problem
Current food and grocery delivery relies on human drivers and ground vehicles, leading to high labor costs, fuel expenses, and delivery times that are limited by traffic and parking constraints. Scaling these services to millions of deliveries per year is hindered by the need for extensive landing infrastructure and inefficient last‑mile logistics.
Solution
Onesec is developing an AI‑first autonomous delivery drone that flies directly to restaurant storefronts, balconies, or doorsteps, eliminating the need for dedicated landing pads. The drone uses computer‑vision and onboard AI to navigate complex urban environments and precisely locate delivery points. By carrying payloads of 1–5 kg, the system is optimized for small parcels, reducing vehicle weight and energy consumption. Continuous operation without driver salaries or fuel stops enables dramatically lower per‑delivery costs and speeds up delivery times to under 12 minutes for a typical 5.9 km route. The platform is built on advanced flight software, carbon‑fiber airframes, and custom AI compute hardware to support high‑volume, scalable operations.
Target Audience
Primary customers are food‑service operators, grocery retailers, and e‑commerce platforms seeking fast, low‑cost last‑mile delivery in urban environments.
Features
- Integrated computer‑vision and AI navigation for autonomous flight and precise drop‑off at storefronts, balconies, or doorsteps
- Lightweight airframe constructed from carbon‑fiber composites and 3D‑printed components for payload efficiency
- Custom AI compute and camera processing boards embedded in the airframe for real‑time perception and decision‑making
- DO‑178 certified flight control software running on a real‑time operating system with automated regression testing
- Continuous operation model with no driver labor, achieving up to 90 % lower delivery cost compared to traditional car delivery
- Scalable architecture targeting 100 + million deliveries per year, with flight times reduced to approximately 2.5 minutes for a 5.9 km distance
