1. A containerized robotic system, comprising:
a base having a first attachment area configured to securely mount a 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;
one or more sensors;
a sensor superstructure to which at least part of the one or more sensors are attached; and
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;
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 a workspace in connection with performing the selected one of the plurality of jobs.
