A mechanical design for a braking system of a delivery device is described. The braking system includes one or more brake modules. Each brake module is configured to engage a different wheel of the delivery device to stop movement of the wheel when power to the brake module is less than a threshold. Each brake module includes: an electromagnet; a magnetic plate; a pawl configured to engage a wheel to stop movement of the wheel; a solenoid comprising a solenoid pin, the solenoid pin having a first end coupled to the magnetic plate and having a second end coupled to the pawl, and a manual override mechanism that is configured to allow movement of the wheel when the power to the brake module is less than the threshold. The brake module is configured to disable the manual override mechanism when the power to the brake module is greater than or equal to a threshold.

A skid-steer delivery autonomous ground vehicle has a drive train and suspension that aids in maneuverability. The AGV has six wheels, each of which is powered by its own motor. The AGV has features that diminish the dragging effect on the wheels, either by choice of wheel features or by taking weight off the front wheels during turning.

Autonomous ground vehicle

A chassis and skin of a delivery Autonomous Ground Vehicle include discrete upper and lower thermal management systems. The lower thermal management system is indirect, as is moves air through a closed duct that is in contact with high-heat dissipating components via heat sinks. The upper thermal management system is direct, as it moves air into the interior cavity of the AGV to cool sensors and other electronic equipment.

Point-of-sale systems may include stations having interactive monitors mounted at specific heights and angles that permit such monitors to be viewed and interacted with by an associate or a customer. Some point-of-sale systems may include two stations, each having a monitor aligned in opposite directions, a user of one monitor may not view the other monitor, and vice versa. The point-of-sale systems may also include instrument readers (e.g., credit card readers or NFC readers) for recognizing payment instruments of customers and identifying the customers based on the payment instruments. Each of the monitors and instrument readers may be linked by cables to computer devices that are securely housed in a chamber above which the monitors are mounted. The monitors and other components are installed in a modular fashion, and may be independently installed or replaced without requiring an installation or replacement of the entire point-of-sale system.

Drive train and suspension for an autonomous ground vehicle

A delivery autonomous ground vehicle includes several drainage features to keep water away from the package to be delivered and sensitive components. The cargo bay includes dimples to raise the package from the floor of the bay and a drain. Enclosed drain pans beneath elements of the lid also include drains. Water entering from the cooling air inlet holes of discharge holes can drain back through the holes or through the main drain. Overlapping panels inhibit water ingress, but if provided without seals, the water ingress between overlapping panels flows to the main drain.

Disclosed embodiments include apparatuses, systems, and methods for positioning electrodes within a body. In an illustrative embodiment, an apparatus for slidably moving multiple features relative to a sheath inserted into a body and positioned relative to a reference point includes a primary actuator configured to move a primary electrode, a secondary actuator configured to move a secondary electrode, and a control mechanism. The control mechanism is configured to selectively prevent movement of at least one of the primary actuator based on a position of the secondary actuator and of the secondary actuator based on a position of the primary actuator and lock positions of the primary actuator and the secondary actuator.

A chassis and skin of a delivery Autonomous Ground Vehicle include an aluminum structure and polymer panels affixed to the AGV by fasteners. The panels are mutually overlapping. A method of assembly includes hooks and clips to put and hold the panels in place during assembly.
