Abstract
A system pairs a 5G-connected drone to a 5G-enabled user-controlled device. The system sets a predicted route for the 5G-connected drone to navigate. A portion of this route is indoors and matches an actual route of the user-controlled device. The system then causes the 5G-connected drone to commence navigating the predicted route. The system receives environmental data from the area surrounding the 5G-connected drone on the predicted route measured by a set of onboard sensors of the 5G-connected drone. Using the received environmental data and a deviation of the predicted route from the actual route traversed by the user-controlled device, the system determines that an alternate route for the 5G-connected drone exists and sets the alternate route. The system generates a notification based on the environmental data indicating hazards on the alternate route and transmits the notification over a 5G network to the user-controlled device.
