Patent Summary
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) autonomously delivers items to user-specified locations by retrieving inventory from a source location, computing a route, and aerially transporting the item to the delivery location. The UAV receives delivery parameters, communicates with other UAVs for route planning, and considers environmental factors such as weather and traffic. The UAV continuously updates the delivery location based on the user's current location, determined through periodic GPS data retrieval from the user's mobile device.
