Claim 8:
9. A method comprising:
opening at least one compartment of a vehicle at a delivery location, the vehicle including a propulsion system configured to propel the vehicle, the at least one compartment configured to contain at least one delivery item and at least one transfer mechanism, the transfer mechanism arranged to be activated to cause the delivery item to be transferred out of the at least one compartment, wherein the transfer mechanism includes a transfer surface, a linear force mechanism, and a linear force actuator, the linear force mechanism and the linear force actuator being disposed on the transfer surface;
autonomously aligning the vehicle with respect to a target after opening the at least one compartment at the delivery location, the target being located at the delivery location and stationary, wherein autonomously aligning the vehicle with respect to the target includes adjusting a position of the vehicle to align with the target along a horizontal axis and a vertical axis; and
activating the transfer mechanism after opening the at least one compartment and after autonomously aligning the vehicle with respect to the target, wherein activating the transfer mechanism includes causing the transfer mechanism to transfer the delivery item from the at least one compartment such that the delivery item is transferred from the at least one compartment to the target.
