AeroNext (headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo and led by CEO Keisuke Taro), is exploring the use of flying robots (drones) for personal home deliveries and is developing “drone stands” for landing.
Development and Testing of Drone Stands for Home Delivery
The company plans to develop multiple models of the stand, and will work with housing manufacturers and delivery companies to test and improve the convenience of the service. The company aims to launch the service in 2024, and has plans to launch drone logistics services in 40 localities in 2023 and 300 localities in 2024 in coordination with these drone stands.

Collaboration with Sien Holdings and Development of Various Drone Stand Models
In collaboration with Sien Holdings, AeroNext has already begun a delivery service combining drones and delivery trucks in five localities including Kosuge village in Yamanashi prefecture.
The drone stands being developed are approximately 2.5 meters in size and the company is experimenting with multiple shapes including rectangular and circular shapes. The company is developing multiple models to accommodate the differing specifications of partnering housing companies and delivery companies.
Trends in Delivery Preferences Revealed Through Service in Kosuge Village
Through the service in Kosuge village and other areas, it was found that there were more requests for individual deliveries rather than receiving deliveries at a shared delivery hub. The developed stand is intended to be placed in the gardens of single-family homes to receive deliveries. The stand is designed to be cost-effective by only focusing on landing functionality and not including features such as powering the drone or separating packages.
