Abstract: Systems, methods, and machine readable media are provided for automatic charging and swapping power sources for an Autonomous Vehicle (AV). A determination is made whether a current first power source installed in an AV has sufficient power to complete a task assigned to the AV. In response to determining the first power source has insufficient power to complete the assigned task, the AV is directed to a location of a power source repository. The AV is positioned proximate a power source swapping unit of the power source repository where the first power source is removed from the AV and a second power source stored at the power source repository is installed into the AV.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for performing a supply chain verification using blockchain. As packages proceed through the supply chain, data associated with each package is uploaded to respective blockchains such that a non-corruptible record can be maintained of how each individual blockchain was processed. This can require gathering current sensor data, comparing it to data previously stored in the blockchain, and if there is a difference, updating the blockchain with a new block. The updated blockchain can then be distributed to databases, other packages/devices, etc., on a distributed ledger.

Abstract: An autonomous wagon for receiving a package and transporting it to a storage unit for storage until retrieval by the recipient is described. The storage unit may include a heating or cooling mechanism for controlling the temperature in the interior of the storage unit that may be turned off when the storage unit is empty and turned on in response to a signal from a delivery vehicle.

Abstract: Described in detail herein is an automated marking system. The autonomous robot device can locate and identify one or more cases stored in at least one of a plurality of bins in the first location of the facility, wherein each case containing a set of like physical objects. The autonomous robot device can transmit identifying information of the at least one of the one or more cases to the computing system. The computing system can determine a priority for a quantity of the first set of like physical objects to be moved from the at least one of the one or more cases to the second location of the facility. The computing system can instruct the at least one autonomous robot device to mark the at least one of the one or more cases with an identifying mark denoting the determined priority.

Abstract: Methods and systems for establishing a daisy-chain connection with autonomous remote pilots are provided. An example method can include: under control of a computing device configured with executable instructions: generating a mission instruction for a drone to navigate from an original location to a destination along the flight route; instructing the drone with the mission instruction to navigate to the destination; generating, based on a pre-defined criteria, a first verification code based on the mission instruction; broadcasting the first verification code with the mission instruction to a plurality of remote pilots; selecting a first pilot from the plurality of the remote pilots; verifying the first verification code provided by the first pilot to authorize the first pilot to monitor, control, or backup the drone along the flight route; and generating a second verification code based on the mission instruction

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for verifying a product being returned is a product which was sold by using blockchain security systems. At a first time, the system identifies a blockchain specific to an item being sold, then generates a new block for the blockchain with information about the sale. When an item is being returned, the system retrieves the blockchain and compares the data contained within the sale block to data associated with the product and/or the customer returning the product. If a match is found, the product is returned and the blockchain is further updated with the return information.
