1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a sensor configured to detect a condition in a vicinity of a drone landing area;
a communication system; and
a processor and a memory configured to;
apply a machine learning task to data collected from the sensor, the machine learning task operable to identify patterns of activity in the vicinity of the drone landing area, the machine learning task configured to recognize a transient hazard in the vicinity of the drone landing area based on the transient hazard deviating from patterns of activity; and
send a signal to the communication system to cause the communication system to transmit a warning of the transient hazard to the drone.
