    Abstract: Various methods enable a processor of a robotic vehicle to determine when the robotic vehicle has been stolen so that a self-recovery operation may be performed. Determining whether the robotic vehicle has been stolen may include evaluating, by a processor of the robotic vehicle, unauthorized use indicia, and determining that the robotic vehicle is stolen in response to determining that unauthorized use indicia exceed a threshold. Evaluating unauthorized use indicia may include determining whether an Integrated Circuit Card Identifier of a Subscriber Identify Module matches a stored value, determining whether a paired controller is different from a usual controller, determining whether the operator's skill has changed, and evaluating one or more trust factors that are observable features of normal operation.

    Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatuses for controlling operations of a vehicle configured for passenger service. In some implementations, a vehicle controller includes one or more processors communicably coupled to a memory, the one or more processors configured to determine an expected entry or exit point for the passenger of the vehicle. The one or more processors may be configured to detect whether an obstacle or hazardous condition is present at or near a site. The one or more processors may be configured to determine, in response to detecting that the obstacle or hazardous condition is present at or near the site, a drop-off or pick-up location associated with the site based at least in part on a position of the expected entry or exit point for the passenger of the vehicle and the detected obstacle or hazardous condition.

    Abstract: In some implementations, a route selection system obtains a first scheduled time for a first event at a venue for a passenger of an autonomous vehicle. The system determines whether the autonomous vehicle will arrive at the venue by the first scheduled time. The system obtains, in response to a determination that the autonomous vehicle will not arrive at the venue by the first scheduled time, a second scheduled time for a second event at the venue. The system determines a route to the venue based on one or more preferences of the passenger, one or more preferences of an operator of the autonomous vehicle, or any combination thereof, wherein the determined route is configured for arrival of the passenger at the venue after the first scheduled time and at or within a time period before the second scheduled time.

    Abstract: Various embodiments enable recovery with a robotic vehicle of an item placed by a user in a delivery area. The presence of the item in the delivery area may be determined using images captured by a camera, with descriptive recovery parameters derived and included in a recovery request. Recovery parameters may also include information stored in a user account and information input by a user using an application executing on a user device. The delivery area and application may be associated with the user account. The recovery request may be sent to a remote server which dispatches a robotic vehicle to the delivery area to recover the item and routes the robotic vehicle with the recovered item to a location based on information in the user account. A selection of robotic vehicle type may be based on the item's weight or one or more of its physical dimensions.

    Abstract: Various embodiments include methods, devices, and systems of securely delivering an item using a robotic vehicle and a security device that renders the item unusable without authorized removal there from or deactivation of the security device. The robotic vehicle may include a payload securing unit and a robotic vehicle processor. The payload securing unit may be configured to selectively hold the item or the security device while the item is secured to the security device. The robotic vehicle processor may be configured with processor-executable instructions to transport the item to the delivery destination while held by the payload securing unit and secured to the security device. The robotic vehicle may depart the delivery destination prior to receiving authorization to depart relating to the item.
