Detachable robotic arm having interference detection system

A robotic arm system comprising:

• a robotic arm system configured to detachably couple to a structure;
• the robotic arm system having a base, an arm assembly, at least one power source and a manipulator;
• the arm having a lower arm and a upper arm;
• the lower arm rotatably coupled to the base at a first end and rotatably coupled to the upper arm at an opposing end;
• the upper arm coupled to the manipulator an end opposite the lower arm;
• the base including at least one electric motor configured to rotate the lower arm in relation to the base;
• the lower arm further including at least one electric motor configured to rotate the upper arm in relation to the lower arm;
• and
• the manipulator including at least one electric motor configured to actuate the manipulator.

A method detecting inference of a robotic arm system, the method comprising:

• receiving input from a controller to actuate a robotic arm system;
• actuating the robotic arm system in response to the input from the controller;
• detecting interference as the robotic arm assembly actuates in response to the input;
• halting actuation if interference is detected;
• and
• disregarding input if interference is detected.
