JD.com makes robot deliveries in Chinese universities

JD.com has launched a robot delivery service in a number of universities across China, according to local reports. The launch of the service on Sunday (18 June) was timed to coincide with JD.com’s biggest shopping festival.

According to an article published by China Money Network, the robots were in action at Tsinghua University, People’s University, Zhejiang University and Chang’an University.

As previously reported, JD.com has made a big play of using autonomous/robotic technology to enhance its delivery service and the online retail giant is reportedly looking to deploy flying delivery drones in rural areas which could potentially carry loads of up to 500kg.

JD.com is also reportedly planning to incorporate face recognition technology in its delivery robots, so customers can scan their face to unlock and take their parcels from the robot.
