Responsive navigation of an unmanned aerial vehicle to a remedial facility
First Claim
1. A deployment system comprising:
- a communication system configured for receiving diagnostic data corresponding to an object held by an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), wherein the object has an expiration condition; and
a logic module configured for (i) determining that the expiration condition has been satisfied based, at least in part, on the received diagnostic data, and (ii) responsive to determining that the expiration condition has been satisfied, initiating an action that comprises sending to the UAV both (a) navigation data relating to a remedial facility, and (b) instructions to navigate to the remedial facility based, at least in part, on the navigation data.
