Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are directed to computer-implemented methods, computer systems, and computer program products for remote monitoring of devices. The method includes causing a launch of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The UAV is instructed to fly a path that is optimized to read optical signals from a set of one or more devices. Data is received from the UAV, the data corresponding to the optical signals read from the set of one or more devices.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for remote monitoring of devices, the method comprising:
- causing, by a processor, a launch of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV);
- instructing, by the processor, the UAV to fly a path that is optimized to read optical signals from a set of one or more devices;
- and
- receiving, by the processor, data from the UAV corresponding to the optical signals read from the set of one or more devices.
A computer system for remote monitoring of devices, the system comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor system communicatively coupled to the memory;
- the processor system configured to:
- causing a launch of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV);
- instructing the UAV to fly a path optimized to read optical signals from a set of one or more devices;
- and
- receiving data from the UAV corresponding to the optical signals read from the set of one or more devices.
A computer program product comprising:
- a computer-readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions readable by a processor system to cause the processor system to perform a method comprising:
- causing a launch of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV);
- instructing the UAV to fly a path optimized to read optical signals from a set of one or more devices;
- and
- receiving data from the UAV corresponding to the optical signals read from the set of one or more devices.
