Abstract

A robotic line kitting system is disclosed. Data indicating for each of a plurality of operating zones comprising a workspace with which the robotic line kitting system is associated a corresponding safety state information is stored. The data is used to dynamically schedule and perform tasks associated with a higher level objective, including by operating the one or more robotic instrumentalities in one or more operating zones, if any, indicated by the data to currently be available to perform tasks using the one or more robotic instrumentalities and by not operating the one or more robotic instrumentalities in one or more operating zones, if any, indicated by the data to not currently be available to perform tasks using the one or more robotic instrumentalities.
