Robots might soon be delivering your mail in minutes in the future. DHL is trialling a service where drones deliver mail in Juist, a German island in the North Sea.

The trial is the first of its kind in Europe. Partnered with the German government, the flight plan for this robot vehicles have been drawn just for a few weeks. They are set to fly 12km from a harbor in Norddeich to the island at a height of about 50m (164 feet) and up to 18 m/s (about 40mph). These drones will fly to deliver drugs and other urgent medical supplies to a pharmacy on a remote island off the North coast.

The “parcel-copter” will automatically fly from source to destination while being monitored and not controlled. DHL isn’t the only one eyeing this type of service. Google and Amazon are also working on their drone delivery systems.

Not to get too excited however, before any of these services can knock at your door, it will still be a while. But I find it a very useful delivery service so much that it made our list of good innovation.
