Abstract

This study discusses the evolution of drone technology and its application in the logistics field, analyzes its impact on the logistics industry, and predicts future development trends. Through case study and technology comparison, this article thoroughly researches the technological development, classification, characteristics of drones, and their application in the logistics field. The application of drones in the logistics field has gradually become widespread, and it shows significant advantages in the aspects of aerial transportation of cargo, inventory management of warehouses, and planning of distribution routes. The results show that drone not only improves logistics efficiency and reduce cost but also have a unique value in special environments and emergencies.
