Natalia Berbich, a student of the University of Industrial Technologies and Design, has developed a project of an unmanned cargo aviation system. It includes a UAV with a long flight duration, a small UAV, a logistics center and a postamat. The solution is aimed at reducing the time of receiving cargo in remote areas of Russia. The development was a finalist in the Scientific Universe contest of the federal project "Popularization of Science and Technology" with grant support from the Russian Ministry of Education and Science.

The network is built like a cellular network. Large automated sorting points (hubs) are located in cities and regional centers. Delivery to the hubs can be carried out by long-range UAVs. From hubs - distribution to postamats. A drone or several drones are assigned to a postamat. The drone takes the parcel to the nearest postamat in accordance with the constructed route and returns to the base, replaces the battery, delivers another parcel. The parcel at the end point enters the delivery bay, the consumer enters the code and picks it up at the delivery window. To protect the drone from moisture and precipitation, it is serviced inside the postamat.

There are no direct analogs of the system developed by Natalia Berbich, it is fundamentally different from the Russian and international market, although it uses clear and partially worked out logistics schemes of "Russian Post" in terms of the presence of large sorting points. At the same time, drone delivery is already used in several countries, but their experience differs from Russia, first of all due to a milder climate, and secondly, they more often work not in rural areas, but in urban environments, including high-rise development zones, as in China.

"The territory of Russia from the point of view of introducing an unmanned cargo aviation system is a difficult climate with a wide range of temperatures and different precipitation, lack of even cellular communication in some areas, sufficiently uneven population distribution, and different terrain of the earth's crust. Rural logistics, of course, has long been a tricky issue. The startup aims to deliver Russian Post parcels. Talking about food delivery is a bit more complicated - perishable and not only products invariantly require their own transportation conditions," notes the developer.

The prospects of implementation of Natalia Berbich's startup in general will depend on many factors: economic feasibility, and the regulatory framework in the field of UAVs, which, by the way, is being actively developed by the Russian Government, and the creation of new high-tech materials, primarily composite materials that can improve the protection of the electronic "stuffing" of UAVs and, therefore, will allow to expand the scope of the project.

The issue of the list of regions for potential implementation is in the process of development. "Climate affects the development of drones in the most serious way, low temperatures "kill" the battery charge. Strong winds can knock a drone of low mass off the route, and battery resource will be spent again to keep the balance. Hail can damage the propeller or the body of the UAV. High temperatures are also not favorable," explains Natalia.

The project of Natalia Berbich, a student of 草榴短视频, was among 14 finalists out of more than 300 thousand participants of the Scientific Universe contest. Only two young scientists will represent St. Petersburg in the final, which will be held in early October in Moscow. According to the results of the public defense, 7 winners will go to the specialized scientific and technological facility of the company-partner of the competition. Among them are Rosatom, Rostec, Russian Railways, Kurchatov Institute, Russian Quantum Center, Nornickel, BIOCAD, QApp, Artgen Biotech.
