Abstract
This invention relates to self-propelled, mobile input/output bins (MIOBs). Such structures of this type, generally, allow several MIOBs to communicate with one another and a data center. For example, the MIOBs can communicate with a data center if one of the MIOBs experiences a breakdown so that MIOB can be sent to assist with the breakdown.
