Universal robotic-enabled storage and retrieval system

A temperature regulated apparatus comprising:

• a base container, wherein the base container includes at least:
• a base portion;
• one or more sidewall portions, wherein the one or more sidewall portions are integrated with an interior surface of the base portion;
• a lid portion, wherein the lid portion is configured to attach to the one or more sidewall portions, and wherein the base container defines an interior portion defined by at least the base portion, the one or more sidewall portions, and the lid portion;
• one or more thermoelectric components, wherein (i) each of the one or more thermoelectric components is configured to be disposed within the interior portion of the base container, (ii) each thermoelectric component comprises an exterior surface, an interior surface, and a composite semiconductor layer disposed between the exterior surface and the interior surface, and (iii) each thermoelectric component is configured to, when a current flows through the thermoelectric component, transfer heat between the interior surface and the exterior surface;
• and
• an inductive charging grid, wherein the inductive charging grid is integrated within the base container, wherein the inductive charging grid is configured to induce the current within the one or more thermoelectric components, wherein the inductive charging grid comprises one or more inductive charging grid sections, wherein each inductive charging grid section is configured to provide the current to the one or more thermoelectric components within a portion of the base container.
