Abstract
A system for designing a robot for performing a specified function includes a library, a robot design server, and a robot data server. The library stores data about modules and accessories for a robot and has at least unique IDs, dimensions, and firmware for operation of each module and accessory. The robot design server receives a set of functions and requirements of the new robot, finds a set of modules or accessories which match at least one of the set of functions and requirements, performs a set of validation tests against a set of criteria, identifies at least one design which passed the set of validation tests, and generates a list of modules and accessories and their unique IDs of a selected design and a connection map for the selected design. The robot data server downloads to the assembled robot the data and metadata of its modules and accessories.
