Claim 31:
32. The method of claim 1, 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:
receiving, by the modular mobile autonomy control module, a return delivery dispatch command from the dispatch server before the modular mobility base leaves from the destination location, the return delivery dispatch command being initiated by the authorized delivery recipient of the deliverable item, the return delivery dispatch command extending the dispatched logistics operation and comprising at least identifier information on a return deliverable item, transport parameters on the return deliverable item, and courier authentication information related to an authorized pickup courier for the return deliverable item;
verifying, by the modular mobile autonomy control module, that each of the modular mobile autonomy control module, the modular mobility base, the modular auxiliary power module, and the modular cargo storage system are compatible with the extended dispatched logistics operation for the return deliverable item based upon the return delivery dispatch command;
receiving, by the modular cargo storage system, the return deliverable item from the authorized delivery recipient into the payload area within the modular cargo storage system at the destination location after the deliverable item is no longer detected within the modular cargo storage system; and
autonomously causing, by the modular mobile autonomy control module, the modular mobility base to move from the destination location to the hold-at-location logistics facility after the return deliverable item is detected by the one or more sensors as being placed within the modular cargo storage system.
