Patent number: 11551183Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for managing exceptions to orders collected by autonomous vehicles. The exemplary systems may be configured to receive an indication of an exception that at least one item for an order cannot be collected with a first autonomous vehicle carrying a container associated with the order and determine a reconfigured path for the first vehicle responsive to receiving the indication of the exception. The reconfigured path may include a stop at a storage location configured to store containers associated with the exception. The systems may be configured to receive an indication that the container was removed from the first vehicle and deposited at the storage location, transmit an instruction to a second autonomous vehicle to collect the at least one item for the order, and receive an indication that the at least one item has been matched with the container deposited at the storage location.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2020Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: 6 River Systems, LLCInventors: Christopher Cacioppo, Alexa Mellon, Matthew Graham, Jeffrey Kreis, Christopher Payne, Timothy Deignan
