Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for portable robotic manipulation systems. In one embodiment, an example robot assembly may include a first portion that includes a first robotic arm configured to manipulate objects, a second portion coupled to the first portion, the second portion including a moveable sensor assembly, and a controller configured to control operation of the first robotic arm and operation of the moveable sensor assembly. The robot assembly is portable and configured to operate in fenced or unfenced environments, and may be configured to perform different tasks in different environments.
