Systems and methods for delivering climate controlled product
First Claim
1. A system for delivering climate controlled product via at least one autonomous unmanned aircraft system (UAS) that self-evaluates power sufficiency based on temperature tolerance of at least one product, the system comprising:
- an autonomous UAS comprising;
a control circuit configured to operate the autonomous UAS;
at least one rotor that provides lift to enable the autonomous UAS to fly;
a power supply configured to supply power to at least one of climate controlled product chamber and the at least one rotor; and
a package coupler; and
the at least one climate controlled product chamber detachably connectable to the package coupler, the at least one climate controlled product chamber comprising;
a chamber having a volume configured to hold at least one product;
at least one product reader configured to capture product identifier data associated with the at least one product; and
a temperature control mechanism coupled to the power supply when the at least one climate controlled product chamber is connected to the package coupler, the temperature control mechanism configured to maintain a temperature of the volume of the chamber;
wherein the control circuit is configured to;
receive the product identifier data from the at least one product reader;
determine at least one climate threshold value associated with the product identifier data;
determine a confidence value of sufficient power remaining based at least on power usage expected by the temperature control mechanism to maintain the temperature of the volume of the chamber within the at least one climate threshold value during a delivery to a delivery location based on flight plan data;
compare whether the confidence value of sufficient power remaining is within a risk threshold probability that a first mission of the autonomous UAS will be completed; and
initiate supply of power to the at least one rotor based on the confidence value of sufficient power remaining being within the risk threshold probability.

Abstract
In some embodiments, apparatuses and methods are provided herein useful to delivering climate controlled product. In some embodiments, there is provided a system for delivering climate controlled product via at least one autonomous unmanned aircraft system (UAS) that self-evaluates power sufficiency based on temperature tolerance of at least one product including: an autonomous UAS and at least one climate controlled product chamber. The UAS comprising: a control circuit, at least one rotor; a power supply, and a package coupler. The product chamber comprising: a chamber, at least one product reader, and a temperature control mechanism. The control circuit configured to: receive product identifier data; determine at least one climate threshold value; determine a confidence value of sufficient power remaining; compare whether the confidence value is within a risk threshold probability that a first mission will be completed; and initiate supply of power to the at least one rotor.
