Abstract
A system can maintain mapping information applicable to a physical area that corresponds to a device. The system can physically navigate the system toward the device, wherein the device is configured to emit light-based communications substantially vertically, and wherein the device does not comprise any internet connectivity capability. The system can, while physically navigating the system toward the device and based on the mapping information, adjust a position of the light-based communications antenna relative to another part of the system other than the light-based communications antenna. The system can, after physically navigating the system toward the device, attempt to establish a light-based communications channel with the device. The system can, based on a result of the attempt indicating success in establishing the light-based communications channel with the device, receive data from the device via the light-based communications channel.
