Developers at Cambridge Consultants have created a drone delivery system that delivers to a person's physical location, rather than a traditionally assigned address. The GPS app uses DelivAir and a smartphone signal to periodically track its target, with a coded pattern from the phone's flash LED system used to verify the recipient. In addition to consumer deliveries, potential applications noted include delivering puncture kits to stranded cyclists, disaster relief, and life-saving medical deliveries.
