Claim 19:
20. A transfer robot assembly arranged within an ATV transfer module, the transfer robot assembly comprising:
a transfer robot that includes an end effector and one or more arm segments connected between the end effector and a transfer robot platform; and
a first robot alignment arm and a second robot alignment arm, the first robot alignment arm connected to the transfer robot platform and to the second robot alignment arm;
wherein the second robot alignment arm is connected to the first robot alignment arm and to a mounting chassis of the ATV transfer module,
wherein the transfer robot assembly is configured to actuate the first robot alignment arm or the second robot alignment arm to raise and lower the transfer robot to (i) adjust a position of the transfer robot in a vertical direction, and to actuate the other of the first robot alignment arm or the second robot alignment arm to (ii) adjust the position of the transfer robot in a horizontal direction,
wherein the transfer robot is configured to fold into a folded configuration having a narrow profile,
wherein the transfer robot assembly and the transfer robot are configured to occupy less than 50% of an overall depth of the ATV transfer module, and
wherein the overall depth of the ATV transfer module corresponds to a depth in a longitudinal direction extending from a first side to a second side of the ATV transfer module perpendicular to the horizontal direction.
