Abstract
Automated mobile sortation and delivery systems may include a track or rail system positioned within a cargo area of a vehicle, a plurality of carrier robots that move along the track system, and a plurality of package or item racks that are engaged and moved by the carrier robots. The carrier robots may load and unload package racks relative to the cargo area, may sort or shuffle the package racks among a plurality of positions, and may position or place package racks at an access position to enable access to packages loaded within the package racks by associates for delivery. The automated mobile sortation and delivery systems may facilitate faster, more reliable, and more efficient delivery of packages using automated and highly organized sortation and retrieval processes, thereby reducing the time and effort associated with finding, identifying, and delivering correct packages to delivery destinations according to a delivery route or schedule.
