Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for containers having mechanical secured door indicators. In one embodiment, an example container may include a first container wall, a second container wall, a third container wall, and a fourth container wall configured to move from an open position to a closed positon. The fourth container wall may include a first portion coupled to the second container wall, and a second portion coupled to the third container wall, where the first portion and the second portion are coplanar when the fourth container wall is in the closed position. The foldable container may include a bottom container platform having a machine-readable code, and a pivotable arm configured to cover the machine-readable code when the fourth container wall is in the closed position, and to uncover the machine-readable code when the fourth container wall is not in the closed position.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for autonomous navigation inside trailers. In one embodiment, an example autonomous robot may include a front end, a rear end, a sensor disposed at the front end, a rear-facing camera disposed at the rear end, and a force sensor configured to detect lateral and longitudinal forces exerted on a container being transported by the autonomous robot. The autonomous robot may be configured to transport the container from a facility into a trailer, where the autonomous robot is configured to navigate inside the trailer using the rear-facing camera.

Abstract: An inventory management system can include a fleet of mobile drive units. The mobile drive units can detect, using a sensor, calibration data associated with a calibration fixture. The calibration of the sensors can be updated based on the calibration data. The calibration data for the fleet of mobile drive units can be used determine a correction factor. The correction factor can be applied to the fleet of mobile drive units to further update the calibration of the sensors.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for controlling one or more vehicles with the use of navigation markers positioned or integrated into a ground surface. A vehicle, such as an autonomous vehicle, may include a light detection assembly, which may include a light emitter, an optical filter, an optical sensor, and an analog-to-digital converter, and optionally may include a lens. The light emitter may emit light towards the ground surface which may illuminate the navigation marker and cause the navigation marker to emit light passes through the optical filter and is ultimately sensed by the optical sensor. The vehicle may determine the light was emitted by the navigation marker and cause the vehicle to perform the predetermined action.
