Drone-Based Delivery in Logistics: Interdisciplinary Challenges

As urban logistics continue to evolve, there is a growing need for innovative delivery solutions that can meet rising demand while addressing sustainability and cost-effectiveness. To tackle these challenges, ecofriendly transportation methods must be adopted to minimize environmental impact, enhance safety and optimize costs. Drone delivery has emerged as a transformative approach that offers speed, adaptability and reduced emissions compared to conventional logistics. However, its large-scale deployment presents technical and operational challenges that require an interdisciplinary approach. This paper examines these challenges through the integration of control engineering and computer science, identifying how their synergies can enhance efficiency and scalability in drone logistics by developing complementary solutions that address various logistical challenges.
