a robotic manipulator supporting the first and second cameras such that the first and second cameras are capable of being moved by the robotic manipulator relative to the surgical kit; and
one or more controllers being configured to:
obtain unique inspection instructions for the surgical kit to control inspection of the surgical kit;
position the robotic manipulator at a plurality of poses relative to the surgical kit in accordance with the unique inspection instructions;
operate one or both of the first camera and the second camera at each of the plurality of poses to capture images at each of the plurality of poses;
detect parts in the images captured at each of the plurality of poses using a first identification method when utilizing the first camera and using a second identification method when utilizing the second camera;
compare the detected parts of the surgical kit to a predefined list of parts for the surgical kit; and
