A delivery drone is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed to transport items such as packages, medicines, food, postal mail, and other light goods. Large corporations such as Amazon, DHL, and FedEx have started to use drone delivery services. The efficacy of drones in the context of the fight against COVID-19 is evidenced by their successful delivery of millions of vaccines and medical supplies worldwide. The use of drones in delivery services is characterized by its high efficiency, resulting in significant reductions in delivery times and the avoidance of problems typically encountered by traditional delivery vehicles. Medical supplies represent a particularly promising category of drone delivery due to their life-saving potential. This potential has led to the widespread testing of medical supplies in drone delivery systems. Numerous countries have conducted trials and pilot projects in this area, including Australia, Canada, Botswana, Ghana, Uganda, the UK, and the US. Delivery drones can be autonomous, semi-autonomous, or remote-controlled. The most common types of drones are terrestrial and aerial, however, they can also be aquatic.
