Surgical kit inspection systems and methods for inspecting surgical kits having parts of different types

An inspection system for inspecting a kit of parts, the inspection system comprising:

• a light surface to receive parts from the kit;
• one or more cameras configured to obtain one or more images of parts disposed on the light surface;
• a robotic manipulator supporting the one or more cameras such that the one or more cameras are capable of being moved by the robotic manipulator relative to the parts disposed on the light surface;
• and
• one or more controllers being configured to:
• obtain unique inspection instructions for the kit to control inspection of the kit,
• position the robotic manipulator relative to the parts of the kit in accordance with the unique inspection instructions,
• operate the one or more cameras to capture the one or more images of the parts disposed on the light surface,
• detect parts in the one or more images,
• compare the detected parts to a predefined list of parts for the kit, and
• generate output indicating inspection result for the kit.
