1. A robotic assembly system configured to facilitate ingredient placement at a placement region along a conveyor line, the robotic assembly system comprising:
a frame configured to support a set of ingredient bins at a first height;
a human machine interface (HMI) comprising a display mounted to the frame at a first end opposite the conveyor line along a longitudinal axis of the frame;
a collaborative robot arm comprising a base, the base mounted to the frame at the first end and at a second height above the first height, the collaborative robot arm defining a workspace; and
a set of barriers comprising: a left barrier and a right barrier on opposite sides of a midsagittal plane, the left barrier and the right barrier each coupled to the frame with a set of lift-off hinges and substantially spanning between:
the first height and the second height; and
the first end and the conveyor line,
wherein the workspace is at least partially unenclosed below the HMI at the first end, between the left and right barriers.
