Containerized robotic system

A method, comprising:

• automatically configuring a robotic system to use a robotic arm to manipulate one or more items, the robotic system being configured based at least in part on real-time sensor data, the real-time sensor data comprising information indicative of a relative position of the robotic arm and one or more other objects in the work zone,
• wherein configuring the robotic system further comprises;
• selecting or modifying an application routine based on a spatial layout of one or more objects in the work zone, the spatial layout of one or more objects in the work zone being identified based at least in part on the real-time sensor data;
• and
• verifying an operation of a light curtain, wherein the verifying the operation of the light curtain comprises confirming that status indicator is correspondingly set in response to determination that the light curtain detects a user.

A computer program product embodied in a non-transitory computer readable medium and comprising computer instructions for:

• automatically configuring a robotic system to use a robotic arm to manipulate one or more items, the robotic system being configured based at least in part on real-time sensor data, the real-time sensor data comprising information indicative of a relative position of the robotic arm and one or more other objects in the work zone,
• wherein configuring the robotic system further comprises;
• selecting or modifying an application routine based on a spatial layout of one or more objects in the work zone, the spatial layout of one or more objects in the work zone being identified based at least in part on the real-time sensor data;
• and
• verifying an operation of a light curtain, wherein the verifying the operation of the light curtain comprises confirming that status indicator is correspondingly set in response to determination that the light curtain detects a user.

A robotic system, comprising:

• a robotic arm positioned in a known location adjacent to a work zone with respect to which the robotic arm is configured to manipulate one or more items;
• one or more sensors each positioned in a corresponding fixed location relative to the work zone;
• and
• one or more processors configured to configure the robotic system to use the robotic arm to manipulate the one or more items, the robotic system being configured based at least in part on sensor data, the sensor data comprising information indicative of a relative position of the robotic arm and one or more other objects in the work zone;
• wherein configuring the robotic system comprises:
• configuring a safety system;
• and
• verifying an operation of a light curtain, wherein the verifying the operation of the light curtain comprises prompting a user, via a user interface, to cross the light curtain to verify that the robotic system stops operation and that a status indicator is correspondingly set.
