Modular autonomous ground vehicles

This is an autonomous delivery robot designed with a detachable cargo box. The box can be securely locked onto the robot for transport and then securely locked onto a delivery point, like a special docking station. The cargo box can keep items hot or cold and includes various sensors. The claims specify that the robot moves using rollers and requires an access code entered via a user interface to unlock the cargo box.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread adoption of robust, low-cost autonomous navigation for last-mile delivery. The intervening decade has seen significant maturation in AI for robotics and sensor fusion, making the AGV aspect more practical.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedAutonomy software, secure coupling, temperature control.
