Mobile sorting systems

A mobile sorting system comprising:

• a mobile platform comprising a storage area, the storage area comprising a storage housing;
• a first motorized actuating assembly affixed proximate to a first surface of the mobile platform and coupled to a first end effector, the first end effector comprising a first prehension element, the first motorized actuating assembly configured to prehend the storage housing via the first prehension element and, within the mobile platform, translate the storage housing from a first housing location to a second housing location;
• a second motorized actuating assembly affixed proximate to a second surface of the mobile platform and coupled to a second end effector, the second end effector comprising a second prehension element, the second motorized actuating assembly configured to prehend a container via the second prehension element and translate the container from a first container position to a second container position and thereby deposit the container in a compartment of the storage housing;
• and
• wherein
• the second motorized actuating assembly positioned proximate to the first motorized actuating assembly;
• the first container position located proximate to a container storage facility external to the mobile platform;
• the second container position located proximate to the second housing location;
• the container comprises an external wall and a longitudinal protrusion extending from the external wall, the longitudinal protrusion comprising a ventral surface, the ventral surface comprises a first complementary structure;
• the second end effector comprising a dorsal surface, the dorsal surface comprising a second complementary structure;
• in prehending the container via the second prehension element, the second motorized actuating assembly is configured to interengage the first complementary structure and the second complementary structure;
• the first complementary structure and the second complementary structure each comprise gear-shaped structures;
• and
• in interengaging the first complementary structure and the second complementary structure, the second motorized actuating assembly is configured to interengage the gear-shaped structures of the first complementary structure and the second complementary structure.
