The drone acts as a waiter, ordering food and delivering wine for guests. This is not a movie plot, but a real scene in a university cafe in the Netherlands. The world's first coffee shop using drones has opened at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, in what can be called a "glimpse of the future", the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported on April 23. A total of 20 students participated in the project, who spent nine months developing and building drones to show that drones can be an essential part of modern life. Tessie, who led the project, said drones are expected to become practical tools.

The drone was named "Blue Jay". It looks like a white flying saucer with a glowing belt. It hovers over the tables to receive orders from customers.

The drone scans the customer's order and can begin to process the order after the scan is completed, Tessie said. After the order is ready to be completed, another unmanned aircraft will deliver the contents of the order ordered by the customer.

A set of folding clips are installed under the drone body to enable it to complete "serving" tasks, proving that drones can perform delicate tasks, such as transporting medicine or tracking thieves. It is reported that each drone costs about 2000 euros, is equipped with sensors and has a long battery life.

"We believe that in the future, household drones will become a part of daily life and even friends of human beings," said one project participant. "
