Coordinating robotic apparatus deliveries

A computer program product, comprising a computer readable hardware storage device storing a computer readable program code, said computer readable program code comprising an algorithm that when executed by a processor of an embedded computing device implements an automated assembly line delivery method, said method comprising:

• generating, by said processor, an action plan specifying movements associated with a robotic apparatus associated with an assembly line, items required for said assembly line, and a vehicle associated with providing said items for said robotic apparatus, wherein said vehicle comprises a remotely or autonomously controlled aerial vehicle configured to aerially provide said items for said robotic apparatus;
• executing, by said processor, said action plan;
• directing, by said processor in response to a command from a user, said vehicle to a location comprising said items such that said vehicle initiates motion and navigates in a specified direction towards said location;
• selecting, by said processor via said vehicle upon arriving at said location, a first item of said items;
• retrieving, by said processor via said vehicle, said first item;
• determining, by said processor based on a feedback signal generated by a weight sensor of said vehicle in response to said retrieving, a measured weight of said first item;
• comparing, by said processor, said measured weight to a predetermined maximum weight threshold for delivery by said vehicle;
• executing, by said processor based on results of said comparing, a delivery process with respect to said vehicle, said first item, and said robotic apparatus, wherein said executing said delivery process comprises generating a flight based travel route for said vehicle for travel from said location to said robotic apparatus, wherein said travel route is generated based on a maximum number of robotic apparatuses capable of being supported bar said vehicle and a calculated robotic arm movement path configured to prevent a collision between said vehicle and said robotic apparatus such that said robotic apparatus is determined to not be an obstacle to said vehicle;
• and transmitting, by said processor to said robotic apparatus, a notification indicating details associated with said delivery process.

An embedded computer device comprising a processor coupled to a computer-readable memory unit, said memory unit comprising instructions that when executed by the processor executes an automated assembly line delivery method comprising:

• generating, by said processor, an action plan specifying movements associated with a robotic apparatus associated with an assembly line, items required for said assembly line, and a vehicle associated with providing said items for said robotic apparatus, wherein said vehicle comprises a remotely or autonomously controlled aerial vehicle configured to aerially provide said items for said robotic apparatus;
• executing, by said processor, said action plan;
• directing, by said processor in response to a command from a user, said vehicle to a location comprising said items such that said vehicle initiates motion and navigates in a specified direction towards said location;
• selecting, by said processor via said vehicle upon arriving at said location, a first item of said items;
• retrieving, by said processor via said vehicle, said first item;
• determining, by said processor based on a feedback signal generated by a weight sensor of said vehicle in response to said retrieving, a measured weight of said first item;
• comparing, by said processor, said measured weight to a predetermined maximum weight threshold for delivery by said vehicle;
• executing, by said processor based on results of said comparing, a delivery process with respect to said vehicle, said first item, and said robotic apparatus, wherein said executing said delivery process comprises generating a flight based travel route for said vehicle for travel from said location to said robotic apparatus, wherein said travel route is generated based on a maximum number of robotic apparatuses capable of being supported bar said vehicle and a calculated robotic arm movement path configured to prevent a collision between said vehicle and said robotic apparatus such that said robotic apparatus is determined to not be an obstacle to said vehicle;
• and transmitting, by said processor to said robotic apparatus, a notification indicating details associated with said delivery process.
