The vision


AeroLink: The next generation of augmented reality (AR) drone deliveries

*Generated with DALL·E v3

AeroLink is transforming the way goods and critical supplies are delivered, using AI-powered drones and augmented reality (AR) guidance. From medical emergencies to urban logistics, AeroLink enables fast, precise and intelligent deliveries with minimal human effort.

The problem

Traditional delivery systems face major limitations:

  • Time sensitivity: Urgent deliveries suffer from delays due to traffic and infrastructure bottlenecks.
  • Difficult access: Congested cities, remote areas and hazardous zones restrict traditional transport methods.
  • Complexity: Non-expert users struggle to operate drones effectively without specialized training.

*Generated with DALL·E v3


The solution

AeroLink seamlessly integrates AI-powered Link, the Ghost Drone Operator, into an AR-based app, making drone deliveries accessible to anyone:

  • AR navigation: Users request and track deliveries naturally by asking Link, who processes requests dynamically. Real-time telemetry, including altitude, speed and battery status, ensures full situational awareness.
  • AI assistance: Link manages delivery requests and guides users in real-time. Telemetry data is available via voice or AR overlays for seamless updates.
  • Dynamic workflow: The system analyzes surroundings, optimizing flight paths and landings. Users receive telemetry updates via AR or voice, with Link adapting guidance dynamically.


Delivery process

  1. Request: Users simply ask Link for a delivery, stating what they need and where it should go. Link processes the request dynamically, without requiring manual input.
  2. Live tracking: Link provides real-time AR tracking, showing the drone’s exact position, flight path and estimated arrival.
  3. Smart landing: Link identifies and marks the best landing zone via AR, but the user must manually confirm the landing for maximum safety. The user monitors the entire flight and can intervene if necessary.
  4. Confirmation: Link confirms delivery verbally or through AR, allowing users to verify the package and complete the process seamlessly.


AI-Powered assistance (Examples)

  • Link asks, "What can I help you deliver today?" and offers relevant options such as "emergency medical kit" or "express package."
  • If a high-priority delivery is selected, Link provides suggestions: "Choose the nearest drop-off point for the fastest arrival."
  • During flight, Link provides real-time updates: "Your drone is approaching. Please prepare the delivery zone."
  • If hazards are detected, Link responds dynamically: "A pedestrian is in the landing zone. Shall I adjust the drop-off point?"
AI promt which defines **Link´s** character:

"This is Link, a friendly and professional drone assistant with a cheerful face, providing guidance in the AeroLink augmented reality app. You help users manage drone deliveries, navigation and landings, offering clear, step-by-step explanations. His personality is warm, witty and kind, making interactions enjoyable while remaining professional and focused."


Key benefits

  • Faster delivery: Optimized drone routing and AR-assisted navigation reduce delays, improving delivery speed in urban and emergency scenarios.
  • User-friendly: Intuitive AR guidance and AI assistance ensure seamless operation for both professionals and non-experts.
  • Versatile applications: Proven use cases in healthcare, logistics, disaster response and industrial settings demonstrate the system’s adaptability and efficiency.

Conclusion

AeroLink revolutionizes drone deliveries through the integration of AI, AR and automation. This innovative approach offers a scalable, efficient and user-friendly solution, transforming the logistics landscape for the future.
