Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for automated battery replacement. In example aspects, a notification is transmitted to a central hub from an IoT device, alerting the central hub of battery status information. Based on the battery status information, a robot may be deployed from the hub to replace the battery or batteries on the IoT device. The robot may be land-based, air-based, or sea-based, among other configurations and combinations. The robot may engage the IoT device by connecting an external power source, which triggers an authentication procedure to verify the authenticity of the IoT device and the robot. Upon successful authentication, the main battery compartment hatch may be opened. In some example aspects, the main battery compartment hatch is controlled using magnets (e.g. electromagnets). A successful authentication process may result in a change of magnetic force, which may cause the battery compartment hatch to open. Upon opening of the battery compartment hatch, the robot may remove the old battery and insert a new battery. The IoT device may run at least one test on the new battery to ensure proper functionality. Upon verifying proper functionality, the IoT device and robot may disengage, and the IoT device may resume normal operations with the newly installed battery.

Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for intelligent ad-based routing. In example aspects, a destination input, desired time for arrival, and user profile data is received in a ride-sharing application. The input data is classified by applying one or more machine-learning models to the data. Based on the classified data results, candidate physical advertisement locations may be selected along a certain route. Different types of routes may be selected that range from the shortest possible route (i.e., a direct route) to a major detour (i.e., the most cost-effective route). A major detour takes the user on a route that exposes the user to as many advertisements as possible while still arriving at the final destination before the desired time of arrival. In exchange for a longer route and more exposure to physical advertisements, the cost of the ride may be offset. While the user is in proximity to the physical advertisement along the route, businesses associated with the physical advertisement locations may transmit real-time advertisements/messages to the user to be displayed on a user device, a vehicular device, and/or a combination of the two. During the ride, the real-time business information may be received that may alter the route to maximize the effectiveness of real-time advertisement delivery.
