Patent attributes
Disclosed are systems and methods for monitoring operations of autonomous vehicles within a warehouse. The autonomous vehicle's processing unit may detect when the autonomous vehicle is delayed based on one or more timers or time thresholds, such as an amount of time that the autonomous vehicle has been located at a particular location or the amount of time between when the autonomous vehicle received product picking instructions and a shipping deadline. The autonomous vehicle may also use various types of data to detect potential problems, such as determining an amount remaining battery life. Once the autonomous vehicle identified a particular triggering condition, then the autonomous vehicle may trigger an annunciator (e.g., flashing lights, sounding horn) or transmit a notification to other devices, such as client devices. The annunciators or notifications attempt to capture personnel attention to resolve the identifier problem.
