Abstract: A refuse collection system includes a refuse collection robot and a refuse depot. The refuse collection robot includes a chassis, a tractive element coupled to the chassis, a motor coupled to the chassis and the tractive element and configured to drive the tractive element to propel the refuse collection robot, a refuse container coupled to the chassis and defining a first storage volume, and a controller operatively coupled to the motor. The refuse depot includes a centralized storage defining a second storage volume and a refuse actuator configured to transfer refuse from the first storage volume to the second storage volume. The controller is configured to control the motor to propel the refuse collection to a pickup zone associated with a customer in response to receiving a request for refuse collection from a user device associated with the customer.

Abstract: A depot for autonomous land-based refuse drones includes a chassis anchored to a ground surface, a container defining a storage volume for refuse, a collection implement, and refuse actuators. The collection implement is configured to selectively couple with at least one of (i) refuse within a drone storage volume or (ii) a portion of the one of the autonomous land-based refuse drones that defines the drone storage volume. The refuse actuators are operably coupled with the collection implement and configured to drive the collection implement to perform an unloading operation. The unloading operation includes selectively coupling, moving, and de-coupling from at least one of the refuse within the drone storage volume or the portion of the autonomous land-based refuse drone that defines the drone storage volume to unload the refuse from the drone storage volume into the storage volume of the container.

Abstract: A refuse collection includes one or more memory devices storing instructions thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to (a) receive a request for refuse collection from a customer, the request including a desired time of the refuse collection, (b) identify, based on the request, a location of a pickup zone associated with the customer, and (c) control, based on the request, the refuse collection robot to autonomously navigate to the location of the pickup zone at the desired time and perform the refuse collection.

Abstract: A refuse collection drone includes a chassis, tractive elements rotatably coupled with and supporting the chassis, a propulsion system including a battery and an electric motor configured to consume electrical energy from the battery, and a bin removably coupled with the chassis and including a cover. The propulsion system is configured to drive one or more of the tractive elements to transport the refuse collection drone to a customer location. The bin defines a storage volume for refuse. The cover is configured to be driven by an actuator between an open position to allow access to the storage volume and a closed position to limit access to the storage volume. A lock is operable between a locked state to limit transition of the cover out of the closed position and an unlocked state to allow transition of the cover out of the closed position and into the open position.

Abstract: A refuse collection system includes one or more memory devices storing instructions thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to (a) receive a request for refuse collection from a customer, (b) identify, based on the request, a location of a pickup zone associated with the customer, (c) receive location data indicating a current location of the refuse collection robot, (d) generate a route for the refuse collection robot to travel from the current location of the refuse collection robot to the location of the pickup zone, and (e) control the refuse collection robot to follow the route and perform the refuse collection.

Abstract: A refuse collection system includes one or more memory devices storing instructions thereon, that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to (a) control a refuse collection robot containing a volume of refuse to navigate to a refuse depot, (b) control the refuse depot to remove the volume of refuse from the refuse collection robot, (c) receive a request from a customer for delivery of a package, (d) identify, based on the request, a location of a pickup zone associated with the customer, (e) control the refuse collection robot to receive the package, and (f) control the refuse collection robot to transport the package to the pickup zone.

Abstract: A system includes a wearable alert device and processing circuitry. The wearable alert device can be worn by the user of a vehicle and includes a visual alert device configured to provide visual feedback to a user, an aural alert device configured to provide aural feedback to the user, and a haptic alert device configured to provide haptic feedback to the user. The processing circuitry obtains a position of the user of the vehicle and determines an alert condition and a severity of the alert condition based on sensor data obtained from one or more sensors of the vehicle and the position of the user. The processing circuitry operates the visual alert device, the aural alert device, or the haptic alert device to provide visual feedback, aural feedback, or haptic feedback to the user to inform the user regarding the alert condition and the severity of the alert condition.

Abstract: A vehicle system includes a vocational vehicle, a tag, and a data management controller. The vocational vehicle includes a chassis and a body. The chassis includes a first subcomponent. The body includes a second sub component supported by the chassis. The body defines a receptacle. The tag is attached to at least one of the first subcomponent and the second subcomponent. The tag includes an identifier that encodes tag data. The data management controller is configured to receive tag data associated with the tag. The data management controller is configured to provide material from a tag database stored by the data management controller to a user device based on the tag data. The material is associated with the at least one of the first subcomponent and the second subcomponent.

Abstract: A refuse vehicle includes multiple tractive elements, a prime mover, and an independent accessory system. The prime mover is configured to generate mechanical energy to drive one or more of the tractive elements. The independent accessory system includes one or more storage tanks configured to store a fuel, and an accessory primary mover. The accessory primary mover is configured to fluidly couple with the one or more storage tanks to receive the fuel from the one or more storage tanks and operate to pressurize a hydraulic fluid to drive an accessory of the refuse vehicle. The accessory primary mover is configured to pressurize the hydraulic fluid to drive the accessory of the refuse vehicle independently of operation of the prime mover.
