Multi-story robotic drive package sortation

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
• receiving a first indication of a package to be sorted within a sortation facility;
• determining a container on a bottom floor of the sortation facility associated with shipment of the package, wherein the container is determined based on a destination address of the package;
• determining a first robotic drive located on a top floor of the sortation facility to transport the package to a first chute that extends between the top floor and a middle floor of the sortation facility, wherein the first chute is aligned with the container in a first direction within the sortation facility;
• determining a second robotic drive located on the middle floor to transport the package from the first chute to a second chute that extends between the middle floor and the bottom floor, wherein the second chute is aligned with the container in a second direction within the sortation facility and the second chute transfers the package to the container;
• transmitting a first instruction to the second robotic drive to position beneath the first chute to receive the package;
• transmitting a second instruction to the first robotic drive to deposit the package into the first chute;
• receiving a second indication indicating that the second robotic drive received the package;
• transmitting a third instruction to the second robotic drive to deposit the package into the second chute;
• and
• receiving a third indication indicating that the package has been deposited into the container.
