Framework system for robotic architecture and method therefor

A framework system for robotic architecture for a laboratory space, the framework system comprising:

• a chassis providing a common selectable variable mounting interface for selectably mounting different module units of the robotic architecture to the chassis so as to assemble different selectable module units to the chassis forming different bot architectures;
• an operative common interface connected to the chassis, the operative common interface operatively interfacing the assembly of different selected module units and a common controller of the different robotic architectures, wherein the operative common interface has a module input/output side;
• and
• and at the module input/output side, the common interface has a common communication signal connection interface that is selectably variable, and a common safety signal connection interface that is selectably variable;
• the common communication signal connection interface having different connectors, with different coupling characteristics that, which different connectors are selectable so as to configure the common communication signal connection interface to conform and communicably connect with corresponding different selected module units of the assembly forming the different robotic architectures;
• and
• the common safety signal connection interface is configured so as to communicably connect with respective safety signal connectors of corresponding different selected module units of the assembly and send a safety related command, from the common controller to at least one of the different selected module units forming different bot architectures;
• and
• the operative common interface has a controller side with a common interface having a common coupling so as to couple with the common controller and so that input/output signals, including communication signals and safety related commands, are communicated to and from the common controller and to and from respective different selected module units of the different robotic architectures.
