Abstract
A method and system for evaluating and loading vehicles (e.g., aerial vehicles and other vehicles) are described herein. The vehicles are moved by a conveyance device. It may be determined whether a vehicle passes at least one of a structural integrity test or a functionality test. The vehicle may be removed from the conveyance device, e.g., by a robotic manipulator, in the event the vehicle fails at least one of the structural integrity test or the functionality test.
