More than half of Russians dream of a drone that will escort children to school

Also, Russian residents would like drones to deliver groceries and water seedlings at their dacha

More than half of Russians are not against a drone escorting a child to school or kindergarten. This was stated by the head of JSC "GLONASS" Alexey Raikevich.

Answering the question "If you had a personal air drone or rover, how would you use it?", 55% of Russian residents would like it to accompany and monitor the safety of the child on the way to kindergarten, school or on the playground.

He emphasized that these results were obtained in a study conducted jointly with the "Platform of the National Technology Initiative" before the SPIEF. The survey involved more than 2 thousand adult Russians and experts in the field of unmanned transport.

Russians see drones not only as escorts for children, but also as assistants in delivering groceries on time, without unnecessary calls from couriers. This was the answer of 12% of respondents. Another 10% are ready to entrust them with walking the dog, and the same number would like to use them for remote monitoring and watering seedlings at the dacha.

Another 8% of respondents expressed a desire to send parcels and gifts using drones, and 5% want to use this technology to create videos during travel, recreation and sports.

Earlier it became known that about a third of Russians wanted robots with artificial intelligence to do housework and free them from many household chores.
