An autonomous robot vehicle in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure includes a land vehicle conveyance system, a sensor system configured to capture information including surrounding environment information and/or vehicle subsystem information, a communication system configured to communicate with a remote human operator management system, at least one processor, and a memory storing instructions. The instructions, when executed by the processor(s), cause the autonomous robot land vehicle to, autonomously, determine based on the captured information to request a remote human operator, and communicate a request to the remote human operator management system for a remote human operator to assume control of the land vehicle conveyance system, where the request includes at least a portion of the captured information.

An autonomous robot vehicle in accordance with aspects of the present disclosure includes a conveyance system and a compartment coupled to the conveyance system. The conveyance system autonomously drives the autonomous robotic vehicle between one or more storage locations and one or more delivery locations. The compartment receives one or more items stored at the one more storage locations. The compartment includes a temperature control module configured to maintain the compartment within a predetermined temperature range to provide temperature control for the one or more items as the conveyance system drives between the one or more storage locations and the one or more delivery locations.

A meal delivery vehicle for delivering foods includes a vehicle unit, a cover unit, and a power supply. The cover unit is mounted to the vehicle unit and cooperates with a carrier surface of the vehicle unit to define a space to receive the foods therein. The cover unit includes a cover and a driving device connected to the cover and operable for converting the cover between a covering state, where the cover covers the space, and an open state, where the cover uncovers the space to allow the space to be in spatial communication with ambient surroundings. The power supply unit is electrically connected to the driving device to provide electricity thereto.

A modular system for autonomous food assembly includes: a skid operable in a first configuration configured to transiently install on a vehicle and in a second configuration configured to transiently install in a kiosk; a set of food dispensing modules configured to transiently install on the skid and store and dispense food based on food orders; and a fixed infrastructure configured to distribute power from a first power source in the truck to the set of food dispensing modules in the first configuration, from a second power source in the fixed kiosk to the set of food dispensing modules in the second configuration, and to the set of food dispensing modules; a controller installed on the skid and configured to receive food orders and control the set of food dispensing modules to dispense food orders from the truck in the first configuration and from the kiosk in the second configuration.

The exotic dance club trailer comprises a towed vehicle that may be operable as an exotic dance club. The towed vehicle may be subdivided into a dance salon, a dressing room, a bar area, one or more restrooms, and an entry hall. The dressing room may be adapted for one or more dancers to change clothing. The dance salon may be adapted for the one or more dancers to perform in front of one or more patrons. The bar area may be adapted for the preparation and serving of beverages. The towed vehicle may be adapted to be moved between venues by a tow vehicle in order to maximize access to the one or more patrons. The one or more restrooms may be located at the front of the towed vehicle in order to make effective use of an aerodynamically shaped area of the towed vehicle.

In accordance with aspects of the present disclosure, an autonomous robot vehicle is disclosed. In various embodiments, the autonomous robot vehicle includes a conveyance system, a securable compartment configured to autonomously lock and unlock where the securable compartment contains an item for delivery to a particular individual, a personal identification reader, at least one processor, and a memory storing instructions. The instructions, when executed by the processor(s), cause the autonomous robot vehicle to, autonomously, travel to a destination location of the particular individual, capture by the personal identification reader at the destination location a personal identification object, determine that the captured personal identification object matches an identity of the particular individual, and unlock the securable compartment based on the determination.

An autonomous robot vehicle includes a front side and an energy absorbing system. The front side includes a front bumper and a front face including a frame defining a cavity. The energy absorbing system includes an energy absorbing member mounted in the cavity of the frame, and an inflatable airbag. The energy absorbing member is configured to reduce impact on an object struck by the autonomous robot vehicle. The inflatable airbag is mounted on the front side of the autonomous robot vehicle such that when the inflatable airbag is deployed, the inflatable airbag is external to the autonomous robot vehicle.

Systems and methods are disclosed for providing transportation or delivery services using a fleet of mixed vehicles. A computer-implemented method of providing services using a fleet of mixed vehicles includes receiving at a server a request for a service, determining parameters for the service, selecting by the server a vehicle from a fleet of mixed vehicles to perform at least a portion of the service based on the determined parameters, and transmitting a message to the selected vehicle to perform the at least a portion of the service. The fleet of mixed vehicles includes at least two of: a semi-autonomous vehicle, a fully-autonomous vehicle, a vehicle remotely operated by a human, or a human driven vehicle.

An expandable shelter includes a ceiling panel that unfolds from a top, a floor panel that unfolds from a bottom, a flexible sidewall having a first end coupled to the ceiling panel and a second end coupled to the floor panel. The flexible sidewall further includes a window disposed in the sidewall, and a shade to cover the window. The shade is configured to transition between a closed state and an open state. A first line and a second line couple to the shade, extend between an interior of the expandable shelter and an exterior of the expandable shelter, and are usable to transition the shade between the closed state and the open state.

The present invention relates to a mobile general store truck and a system for purchasing and accessing convenience items at the mobile general store truck. The store truck is configured to store different food items, beverages, tobacco, and more that can be ordered by customers at the store truck or by using a website or application. The ordered items are accessible at a scheduled time and place to customers by the store truck. In some embodiments, the truck can be a part of a fleet in which a truck in the delivery range of the customer provides the items. The invention enables the customers to order and have the items accessible or provided as per their convenience and thus saving time and effort in purchasing convenience items.
