Abstract: A robotic system coordinates collision-free self-storage of a robot. The robotic system initiates and performs a controlled collapse of the robot into a pre-defined compact geometry that permits self-storage in a confined, compact area when not in use. The system also coordinates collision-free self-deployments of the robot into a deployed geometry suitable for performing autonomous tasks outside of the compact storage area. The system includes a collapsible robot configured to extend and retract at least one robotic arm to perform tasks above a worksurface, a powered docking station positioned below the worksurface and including a power source interface to electrically couple the collapsible robot to a power source, and control circuitry for coordinating movements of the collapsible robot—such as collision-free self-collapse, collision-free self-deployments, and collision-free ingress and egress of the robot into and out of the compact storage area.
