Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering a requested payload using an autonomous delivery vehicle are described herein. In some embodiments, a cargo system for use with an autonomous delivery vehicle can include a frame defining a cargo space having an opening. A plurality of partitions can be positioned within the cargo space and configured to divide the cargo space into compartments. In some embodiments, the partitions are movable so that the cargo space can be divided into efficiently-sized compartments based on, for example, size characteristics of the payload. The cargo system can further include an access system configured to selectively define an aperture over the opening of the cargo space. The access system can vary the size and position of the aperture to provide access to only a selected one of the compartments regardless of the size and/or position of the selected compartment.

Abstract: Systems and methods for delivering a requested payload using an autonomous delivery vehicle are described herein. An end-user can order a delivery of the requested payload, and a delivery management system can select a delivery region corresponding to the order. The delivery management system can further generate one or more delivery tasks and delivery routes corresponding to the tasks. The delivery management system can operate the autonomous delivery vehicle according to the tasks and the routes to pick up the requested payload from a pickup location and to transport the requested payload to a delivery location.

Abstract: Machine for overwrapping baggage (4) suitable for any mode of transport, in particular air travel, and successively comprising, upstream to downstream, a baggage arrival station (1) having an upstream entry conveyor (6) on which the baggage (4) to be wrapped is placed flat and a station (2) for forming a protective tubular enclosure of shrinkable thermo-plastic material over each baggage. The machine comprises an intermediate conveyor (7) for the enclosing operation and a shrinking tunnel oven (3) through which a downstream conveyor (8) extends, the endless conveyors (6, 7, 8) extending horizontally and being aligned and driven in the same direction, to enable the baggage to be fully wrapped at the outlet of the oven (3) after shrinkage of the plastic material.
