Claim 0:
1. A containerized robotic system, comprising:
a base having a first attachment area configured to securely mount a robot and a second attachment area configured to securely mount a compressor, the base further including a set of one or more channels to provide an electrical connection to supply power to the robot and the compressor, respectively, and to provide compressed air from the compressor to the robot;
a detachable superstructure configured to be removably connected to the base to define an enclosed space of sufficient size to accommodate at least the robot and the compressor; and
a power distribution unit secured to the base and coupled to receive electrical power as input and to provide electrical power to the robot and the compressor via the set of one or more channels
wherein:
the containerized robotic system is configurable to perform a selected one of a plurality of jobs at a site at which the containerized robotic system deployed;
the plurality of jobs includes singulation, kitting, or palletization;
the containerized robotic system is integrated with one or more of (i) a kitting shelf system comprising a kitting shelf structure and a conveyance structure, (ii) a singulation system comprising a chute and a singulation conveyance structure, or (iii) a palletization system comprising a conveyance structure and one or more pallets disposed within a range of the robot;
a selected job performed by the containerized robotic system after deployment at the site is based at least in part on a type of other system with which the containerized robotic system is integrated at deployment; and
in response to the robot of the containerized robotic system being deployed and initialized,
the robot performs pick and place operations with respect to items in the workspace of the kitting shelf system, the singulation system, or the palletization system.
