Temperature-controlled mobile robot for delivering consumable items
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11945121B2) discloses a mobile robot designed for delivering items to recipients. The robot features an item compartment with separate sections for holding different items, with a temperature control component to maintain specific temperatures in each section. The first section is for cooled or temperature-neutral items, while the second section is for heated items. The robot is also equipped with sensors to detect the presence of items and can generate alerts if items are left in the compartment after delivery.
Furthermore, the patent includes a method for delivering items using the mobile robot, involving placing items in the designated sections, traveling to the delivery location, and controlling temperatures during transit. The method also includes notifying recipients to remove the separator to access items, granting access upon arrival, and actively controlling temperatures in the sections. The robot can detect when items have been removed and notify recipients if any items are left behind. Overall, the invention aims to efficiently deliver consumable items while ensuring proper temperature maintenance throughout the process, enhancing the delivery experience for recipients.
