Universal construction robotics interface

A controller device for integrating a new robot into a working environment, the controller device comprising:

• an interface configured to communicate with a robot;
• and
• a registration module coupled with the interface and configured to
• receive a signal indicating a presence of the new robot in the working environment,
• establish a negotiation channel with the new robot via the interface,
• negotiate, via the negotiation channel, with the new robot a set of robotic functions controllable by the controller device,
• select a set of selected interface primitives by comparing function attributes of the set of robotic functions to interface attributes of interface primitives,
• generate a robot user interface from the set of selected interface primitives, wherein the robot user interface is configured to control the set of robotic functions, and
• configure the controller device to provide access to the robot user interface within the work environment.
