1. A computer-based method of synchronization of physical delivery with a metaverse activity, the method comprising:
receiving real-time and historical data relating to a metaverse activity;
identifying a context of the metaverse activity based on the real-time data;
determining whether at least one user whose avatar is in the metaverse activity requires a physical delivery of one or more physical objects based on the real-time and the historical data;
in response to determining the at least one user whose avatar is in the metaverse activity requires the physical delivery:
identifying a time at which the at least one user whose avatar is in the metaverse activity requires the physical delivery of the one or more physical objects during the metaverse activity based on the identified context, wherein the required time is synchronized with a progression of the metaverse activity;
causing at least one robotic device to onboard the one or more physical objects to be delivered in advance of the required time;
deploying the at least one robotic device to deliver the onboarded one or more physical objects to a physical location of the at least one user whose avatar is in the metaverse activity at the required time; and
integrating one or more physical interactions of the at least one user whose avatar is in the metaverse activity with the delivered one or more physical objects into the metaverse activity, wherein integrating the one or more physical interactions of the at least one user whose avatar is in the metaverse activity with the delivered one or more physical objects into the metaverse activity further includes converting the one or more physical interactions into one or more virtual interactions and integrating the one or more virtual interactions into the metaverse activity.
