Abstract
An autonomous mobile robotic device that may carry and transport one or more items within an environment. The robotic device may comprise a container within which the one or more items may be stored. The robotic device may pick up and deliver the one or more items to one or more locations. The robotic device may be provided with scheduling information for task execution or pickup and delivery of one or more items. Once tasks are complete, the robotic device may autonomously navigate to a storage location.
