Abstract: A method for delivering restricted items to users includes detecting that a user has selected a restricted item for delivery. A user profile is accessed, and authorization for delivery of the restricted item associated with the user profile is verified. Upon detecting a first authorization associated with the user profile, authorizing the dispatch of the restricted item to the user at a delivery location. The restricted item is transported to the delivery location by the mobile robot. The mobile robot has an item space with a lid and an electronic lock, which is locked during transit. A second authorization to confirm a user's identity before the user receives the restricted item. If the second authorization fails, communication is established between the user and a remote operator terminal via the mobile robot, and the remote operator terminal performs the second authorization and/or repeats the first authorization.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method and system for delivering restricted items to users. The method comprises detecting a restricted item selected by a user for delivery; accessing a user profile associated with the user; verifying presence of an authorization for delivery of the restricted item associated with the user profile; and, upon detecting a first authorization associated with the user profile, authorizing dispatch of the restricted item to the user at a delivery location.

Abstract: A method and system for modifying images captured by mobile robots. The method includes capturing at least one image via at least one visual sensor of a mobile robot; converting the at least one image into image data; storing image data; detecting at least one identifier present in the image data; applying an obfuscation to the at least one detected identifier in the image data to gain obfuscated image data; and providing the obfuscated image data to at least one authorized agent. The system includes at least one capturing component wherein the capturing component is configured to capture at least one image at any positioning of the mobile robots; a converting component wherein the converting component is configured to convert at least one image into image data; a storing component for storing the image data; a processing component.

Abstract: A mobile robot has a body having at least one item space; a lid constructed and adapted to assume at least an open position and a closed position, wherein the lid is to fit on top of the body in the closed position, so as to cover the item space, and the lid is to be lifted to the open position, so as to allow access to the item space; at least four wheels; and a plurality of light sources arranged as at least one row of lights.
