Mu nama imaze iminsi ibera mu Rwanda ihuje abo mu rwego rw'ubwikorezi, Zipline Rwanda yamuritse drones nshya zizatangira gushyira abantu ibicuruzwa mu mwaka utaha.
Umusaruro wa Zipline wanagarutsweho na Perezida Paul Kagame ubwo yatangizaga iyi nama inama. Yagize ati 'Iri koranabuhanga ntabwo ryagabanyije igihe byatwaraga gusa ahubwo ryatabaye n'abantu. Ubufatanye bwacu bwatanze umusaruro ndetse turi kugerageza uko twarizana mu mujyi rikazajya rijyanayo ibikoresho mu bijyanye n'ubucuruzi bw'ikoranabuhanga.'
Drones nshya Zipline yamuritse zizwi nka Platform 2 (P2), zifite ikoranabuhanga rihambaye ugereranyije n'izisanzwe.
Zizajya zikorera cyane mu mijyi ituwe cyane. Zizahera mu Mujyi wa Kigali hanyuma zagurirwe no mu bindi bice by'igihugu.

Izi drones nshya zifite umwihariko w'uko zo zihaguruka mu buryo bumwe na kajuguju, kuko bidasaba kwifashishwa ikizisunika kikaziha imbaraga (launcher).
Ishobora guhagurukira aho ari ho hose, ikaba yanagwa ahantu hato cyane. Bijyanye n'uko ifite sensors zifite ikoranabunga rigezweho rifasha drones kumanura umuzigo neza.

Bitandukanye na drones zisanzwe zakoreshaga icyo twakwita nk'umutaka kugira ngo zimanure umuzigo zahawe. Izi zo zagenewemo umwanya munini ushyirwamo ibicuruzwa.
P2 ikoreshwa umugozi ugenda wizingura umuzigo ukagera ku butaka gahoro gahoro, ibituma umuzigo ugera ku bawutumye neza ndetse igakora mu mijyi igizwe n'inyubako ndende n'ibindi.

Ati 'Dushaka kuyizana mu Mujyi wa Kigali bikaba ubwa mbere bikorewe muri Afurika. Dushaka kubanza kuyimenyereza neza ikaza nta kibazo cya tekiniki na kimwe ifite. Ni yo mpamvu bizafata igihe. Abantu bihangane gato mu mwaka utaha twifuza ko zizaba yatangiye gutanga serivisi.'
Kayitana yavuze ko batangiye no gusaba impushya zo gukoresha izi drones.
Igerageza nirirangira bazazana ibyemezo by'uko ikoranabuhanga ryazo ryemewe ndetse nta mpungenge z'impanuka ubundi zitangire imirimo.
Izi drones zifite ikoranabuhanga rizifasha kujya mu byerekezo byinshi, bitandukanye n'izisanzwe. Izisanzwe zoherezwaga ahantu zagerayo zigatanga ubutumwa, zigahita zisubira ku cyicaro cya Zipline.
Kuri izi nshya zo zizajya zoherezwa nk'i Remera, zitange ubutumwa, zongere zijye gufata ubundi nk'i Kanombe zibujyane mu kindi gice, zitabanje kongera gusubira ku cyicaro.

Umuntu azajya amanura (download) iyo 'application' ahitemo ibyo ashaka, abigure, indege ihite ipakirwamo ibyaguzwe, ihite ibimugezaho nko mu kanya ko guhumbya.'

Drones zisanzwe imwe ibarirwa agaciro k'arenga miliyoni 20 Frw bijyanye n'ibiyigendaho, icyakora inshya zizaba ziri munsi y'icyo giciro cyane kugira ngo n'igiciro cy'ubwikorezi gicibwa uwatumye kigabanyuke.
Ati 'Ni ukugira ngo abantu bose bisange muri ubu bucuruzi. Duteganya kuzana drones nyinshi cyane kuko abantu benshi bazazikenera.'
