Abstract

The present invention is for an autonomous aerial vehicle that enables near real-time and offline data processing among heterogenous devices that are in unreliable or unconnected network service areas, wherein the heterogenous devices are associated with heavy industrial systems. The autonomous aerial vehicle may obtain data from a first physical asset, and segment the obtained data as suitable for a local area compute node and/or a cloud compute node. The autonomous aerial vehicle may identify a location associated with the one or more destination devices and may compute a flight path to the destination location. The aerial device may thereafter travel to the destination location and upload relevant data to the at least one destination upon arrival.
