Successful trials of the heavy unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) "Kolibri," designed for logistics tasks involving cargo delivery, have been completed in St. Petersburg. According to representatives of the city committee for industrial policy, innovation and trade, the drone demonstrated high efficiency in autonomous modes.
According to information from the committee's press service, "Kolibri" is classified as a heavy drone. Depending on the specific modification, the platform is capable of transporting cargoes of various sizes and weights, which makes it universal for tasks in logistics and transport.
A key element of the trials was testing the automatic QR code recognition system, which ensures precise landing of the aircraft at a designated point along a preset route. The technology plays a critical role in the operation of unmanned couriers, minimizing positioning errors and increasing operational safety.
The tests were conducted at a specialized testing ground, where engineers confirmed the integration of the UAV's hardware-software complex with precision guidance systems.
As St. Petersburg Governor Alexander Beglov noted in recent statements, the city plans to create two landing sites and a specialized testing ground for testing unmanned systems.
