1. An inspection robot, comprising:
a housing comprising at least three removeable interface plates, each of the at least three removeable interface plates having a coupling interface for an electronic component on a first side, and coupled to at least one of a plurality of electronic boards on a second side;
at least one drive module configured to couple to at least one of the at least three removeable interface plates;
at least one payload configured to couple to at least one of the at least three removeable interface plates; and
a means for operating the inspection robot in response to the at least one drive module coupled to any one of the at least three removeable interface plates, and further in response to the at least one payload coupled to any other one of the at least three removeable interface plates.
