Internet of things (IoT) event-reactive robotic delivery rescheduling

A computer program product, comprising a non-transitory tangible storage device having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by a processor of a computer to perform a method, the method comprising:

• detecting one or more events leading to a delay in a delivery schedule based on integrating internet of things (IoT) sensor data and real-time events, wherein one or more IoT sensors are located along a delivery route;
• triggering, automatically, a reschedule event based on the detected one or more events leading to the delay in the delivery schedule;
• determining availability and location of a user to receive a delivery, based on the reschedule event and a calendar of the user, and wherein a projected location of the user to receive the delivery is determined via a global positioning system (GPS);
• autonomously increasing collection of additional IoT sensor data, based on temporal conditions, to detect and identify a risk in the delivery schedule powered by robotic-linked automation for various neighborhood conditions, wherein the increased IoT sensor data comprises weather events, traffic events, or road closures leading to a delayed delivery;
• rescheduling or canceling the delivery based on the determined availability and location of the user, wherein the delivery is auto-adjusted by a robotic agent, on behalf of and authorized by the user, to identify alternate options matching delivery capabilities with user availability and location;
• notifying the user about any changes to the delivery, based on user preferences and
• providing one or more recommendations for driver delivery routes that take into consideration new times and locations for rescheduled deliveries, thus providing a seamless and automated solution for delivery rescheduling, reducing manual intervention, and improving overall efficiency.

A computer system, comprising

• one or more computer devices each having one or more processors and one or more tangible storage devices;
• and
• a program embodied on at least one of the one or more storage devices, the program having a plurality of program instructions for execution by the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising instructions for:
• detecting one or more events leading to a delay in a delivery schedule based on integrating internet of things (IoT) sensor data and real-time events, wherein one or more IoT sensors are located along a delivery route;
• triggering, automatically, a reschedule event based on the detected one or more events leading to the delay in the delivery schedule;
