1. A method of configuring a robot of a fleet of robots for use of an AI chipset, the method comprising:
receiving a request for a robotic fleet to perform a job;
defining a set of tasks that are to be performed by the robotic fleet in performance of the job;
assigning at least one task of the set of tasks to a robot;
determining a configuration for the robot based on:
the assigned task, and
a components inventory that indicates:
different components that can be provisioned to the robot, including at least one AI chipset, and
for each component:
a respective set of extended capabilities corresponding to the component, and
a respective status of the component;
configuring the robot based on the determined configuration to use the at least one AI chipset; and
deploying the robotic fleet to perform the job,
wherein a control module interface of the robot is configured to interface with the at least one AI chipset.
