Abstract: A skid-steer delivery autonomous ground vehicle has a drive train and suspension that aids in maneuverability. The AGV has six wheels, each of which is powered by its own motor. The AGV has features that diminish the dragging effect on the wheels, either by choice of wheel features or by taking weight off the front wheels during turning.

Abstract: A chassis and skin of a delivery Autonomous Ground Vehicle include discrete upper and lower thermal management systems. The lower thermal management system is indirect, as is moves air through a closed duct that is in contact with high-heat dissipating components via heat sinks. The upper thermal management system is direct, as it moves air into the interior cavity of the AGV to cool sensors and other electronic equipment.

Abstract: A delivery autonomous ground vehicle includes several drainage features to keep water away from the package to be delivered and sensitive components. The cargo bay includes dimples to raise the package from the floor of the bay and a drain. Enclosed drain pans beneath elements of the lid also include drains. Water entering from the cooling air inlet holes of discharge holes can drain back through the holes or through the main drain. Overlapping panels inhibit water ingress, but if provided without seals, the water ingress between overlapping panels flows to the main drain.

Abstract: A chassis and skin of a delivery Autonomous Ground Vehicle include an aluminum structure and polymer panels affixed to the AGV by fasteners. The panels are mutually overlapping. A method of assembly includes hooks and clips to put and hold the panels in place during assembly.
