Abstract

A remotely operated delivery vehicle for transport of a storage container includes a vehicle base, rolling device motors, a power source, a container carrier, and a rotational drive. The vehicle base includes rolling devices configured to move the remotely operated delivery vehicle in a horizontal plane along tracks of a rail system. The rail system includes a first set of parallel rails arranged in a first direction and a second set of parallel rails arranged in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The rolling device motors drive the rolling devices. The power source is configured to provide propulsion power to the rolling device motors. The container carrier is supported by the vehicle. The container carrier is configured to receive the storage container from above and/or from a side and onto or at least partly into the container carrier. The rotational drive is configured to rotate the container carrier, and any storage container supported thereon, relative the vehicle base.
