Abstract
A self-contained robotic arm system includes: an operating platform; a robotic arm subsystem coupled to the operating platform; a control subsystem coupled to the operating platform and configured to effectuate movement of the robotic arm assembly; a mast assembly coupled to and configured to rotate with the robotic arm subsystem; and a machine vision system coupled to the mast assembly and configured to enable a user of the self-contained robotic arm system to visually monitor areas proximate the self-contained robotic arm system.
