Many sUAS operators are leveraging this technology to transport and deliver physical items. This use-case applies to various industries ranging from healthcare, agriculture, and consumer products. In recent years we have seen sUAS be used to deliver medical supplies (https://www.wetalkuav.com/drone-based-medicine-delivery-coming-north-carolina/), pesticides (https://japantoday.com/category/tech/how-drones-are-changing-the-rice-industry), and even burritos (http://money.cnn.com/2017/10/17/technology/google-alphabet-drone-burrito-delivery/index.html).
Our work has been focused on using sUAS for remote sensing, so this use-case of using a sUAS to deliver physical items goes beyond our current body of knowledge. If you have expertise in this area and would like to build this section, please contact us to contribute.
