Abstract: This disclosure describes an unmanned aerial vehicle (“UAV”) configured to autonomously deliver items of inventory to various destinations. The UAV may receive inventory information and a destination location and autonomously retrieve the inventory from a location within a materials handling facility, compute a route from the materials handling facility to a destination and travel to the destination to deliver the inventory.

Abstract: Described is an airborne fulfillment center (“AFC”) and the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (“UAV”) to deliver items from the AFC to users. For example, the AFC may be an airship that remains at a high altitude (e.g., 45,000 feet) and UAVs with ordered items may be deployed from the AFC to deliver ordered items to user designated delivery locations. As the UAVs descend, they can navigate horizontally toward a user specified delivery location using little to no power, other than to stabilize the UAV and/or guide the direction of descent. Shuttles (smaller airships) may be used to replenish the AFC with inventory, UAVs, supplies, fuel, etc. Likewise, the shuttles may be utilized to transport workers to and from the AFC.

Abstract: This disclosure describes an automated mobile vehicle that includes one or more distance determining elements configured to detect the presence of objects and to cause the automated mobile vehicle to alter its path to avoid the object. For example, a distance determining element may be incorporated into one or more of the motors of the automated mobile vehicle and configured to determine a distance to an object. Based on the determined distance, a path of the automated mobile vehicle may be altered.

Abstract translation: 描述的是机载实现中心（“AFC”）和使用无人驾驶飞行器（“无人机”）将物品从AFC运送给用户。 例如，AFC可以是保持在高空（例如，45,000英尺）的飞艇，并且可以从AFC部署具有有序物品的UAV以将订购的物品运送到用户指定的运送地点。 随着无人机的下降，除了稳定UAV和/或引导下降方向以外，它们可以使用少量甚至无功率的水平朝向用户指定的传送位置进行导航。 可以使用班车（较小的飞艇）向库存，无人机，供应品，燃料等补充AFC。同样，梭子也可用于运输工人往返于AFC。
