Coffee or other drink, for example a caffeine containing drink, is
delivered to individuals that would like the drink, or who have a
predetermined cognitive state, using an unmanned aerial vehicle
(UAV)/drone. The drink is connected to the UAV, and the UAV flies to an
area including people, and uses sensors to scan the people for an
individual who has gestured that they would like the drink, or for whom
an electronic analysis of sensor data indicates to be in a predetermined
cognitive state. The UAV then flies to the individual to deliver the
drink. The analysis can include profile data of people, including
electronic calendar data, which can be used to determine a potentially
predetermined cognitive state.
