Claim 30:
31. The method of claim 1, wherein the delivery dispatch command further comprises identifier information on an additional deliverable item, additional destination delivery information related to drop-off of the additional deliverable item, and additional delivery authentication information related to a secondary authorized delivery recipient of the additional deliverable item;
further comprising the step of receiving, by the modular cargo storage system, the additional deliverable item from the secured storage at the hold-at-location logistics facility into the payload area within the modular cargo storage system at the hold-at-location logistics facility;
wherein the step of providing selective access to the deliverable item within the modular cargo storage system comprises providing, by the modular cargo storage system, selective access to only the deliverable item within the modular cargo storage system when the delivery recipient authentication input correlates to the delivery authentication information indicating that the delivery recipient providing the delivery recipient authentication input is the authorized delivery recipient;
wherein the step of autonomously causing the modular mobility base to move from the destination location on the return route to the hold-at-location logistics facility after the deliverable item is no longer detected within the modular cargo storage system comprises:
autonomously causing, by the modular mobile autonomy control module, the modular mobility base to move from the destination location to a secondary delivery location after the deliverable item is detected to be removed from within the modular cargo storage system at the destination location, the secondary delivery location identified by the additional destination delivery information in the delivery dispatch command;
receiving secondary delivery recipient authentication input by the modular mobile autonomy control module from a second delivery recipient disposed external to the modular autonomous bot apparatus assembly at the secondary destination location;
providing, by the modular cargo storage system, selective access to only the additional deliverable item within the modular cargo storage system when the secondary delivery recipient authentication input correlates to the secondary delivery authentication information indicating that the second delivery recipient providing the secondary delivery recipient authentication input is the secondary authorized delivery recipient of the additional deliverable item; and
autonomously causing, by the modular mobile autonomy control module, the modular mobility base to move from the secondary delivery location to the hold-at-location logistics facility after the additional deliverable item is no longer detected within the modular cargo storage system.
