Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to a drone system including a drone configured for navigation of an outdoor facility and equipped with an RFID reader, an optical code reader, and at least one of powertrain control module data receiver and an electronic control module data receiver. The system includes a computing system in communication with the drone.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to an indoor drone system including an autonomous drone configured for autonomous navigation, and a computing system in communication with the autonomous drone. The autonomous drone includes an optical code reader and at least one navigational sensor. The computing system includes a verification module.

Abstract: An autonomous vehicle-based item retrieval system and method utilizing a logic train autonomous stock picking vehicle that provides support for the picking of items in a facility is discussed. The logic train autonomous stock picking vehicle may utilize sensors to detect a location, a user, obstacles, and the placement of items in the vehicle and may be dispatched as part of a logical group of vehicles forming a “logic train” to meet with a specified individual at a designated location in a facility.

Abstract: Described herein are a modular robotic rover and a system for a modular robotic rover. An exemplary system includes a modular robotic rover that has a motor coupled to a drive train, a body frame, at least one battery and one or more sensors. The system further includes multiple removable attachments configured to couple to the rover's body frame. The attachments include at least a temperature-controlled compartment with a configurable size. The system also includes a cooling and heating mechanism with an integrated electrical interface that is removably coupled to the body frame and configured to control a temperature of the temperature-controlled compartment. The system also includes a control system to control the drive train and to provide power to the cooling and heating mechanism via the integrated electrical interface.

Abstract: Described are systems, methods, and computer readable medium for drone dispatch and operation. Exemplary embodiments provide a group of drones, a server in communication with the drones, and a detachable basket coupled to a shopping cart including an optical machine-readable label that represents identifying data for the basket. The identifying data for the basket is received from a client device at a server. The basket is associated with a user profile corresponding to the client device. Information identifying a vehicle associated with the user profile is determined. A checkout message is received indicating that a user of the client device completed a purchase transaction and requested a drone for transporting the basket. In response to the checkout message, identifying data for the basket is transmitted to a selected drone in the group of drones, and instructions to carry the basket to the vehicle are also transmitted to the selected drone.
