Systems and Methods for Autonomous Robot Delivery and Retrieval

A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:

• obtaining, by a computing system comprising one or more comping devices, data associated with a request for an autonomous robot transport service;
• determining, by the computing system, an availability of one or more autonomous vehicles for the autonomous robot transport service based at least in part on the request for the autonomous robot transport service;
• providing, by the computing system, one or more of service timing or service pricing to a user requesting the autonomous robot transport service based at least in part on the data associated with the request for the autonomous robot transport service and the availability of one or more autonomous vehicles;
• selecting, by the computing system, an autonomous vehicle to provide transport of an autonomous robot associated with the autonomous robot transport service based at least in part on the availability of one or more autonomous vehicles and the data associated with the request for the autonomous robot transport service;
• generating, by the computing system, an autonomous robot service assignment for the selected autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the data associated with the request for the autonomous robot transport service;
• and
• providing, by the computing system, data indicative of the autonomous robot service assignment to the selected autonomous vehicle.

A system comprising:

• an autonomous robot, the autonomous robot comprising:
• one or more compartments configured to provide for transporting at least one item;
• one or more autonomous vehicles, the one or more autonomous vehicles configured to transport the autonomous robot along with one or more passengers;
• and
• a computing system comprising:
• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memories including instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:
• obtaining data associated with a request for an autonomous robot transport service associated with the autonomous robot;
• determining an availability of the one or more autonomous vehicles for the transport service based at least in part on the request for the autonomous robot transport service;
• selecting one of the one or more autonomous vehicles to provide transport of the autonomous robot based at least in part on the availability of the one or more autonomous vehicles and the data associated with the request for the autonomous robot transport service;
• generating an autonomous robot service assignment for the selected autonomous vehicle based at least in part on the data associated with the request for the autonomous robot transport service;
• and
• providing data indicative of the autonomous robot service assignment to the selected autonomous vehicle.
