Abstract

A processor may receive physical parameter data associated with a physical parameter of an object. The processor may receive pathway data associated with one or more potential pathways for transporting the object from an origin point to a destination point. The processor may determine a recommended pathway, the recommended pathway may have one or more path segments for transportation of the object from the origin point to the destination point. The processor may determine a first recommended orientation and a first recommended movement for transportation of the object through a first path segment of the recommended path. The processor may provide, to a user, a virtual rendering of the first recommended orientation and the first recommended movement of the object through the first path segment of the recommended path.
