Systems, methods, and associated components for robotic manipulation of physical objects. The physical objects include three-dimensional gripping features configured to be detected by an optics system and gripped by an end-effector of a robotic arm with sufficient gripping force to move the physical objects against the force of gravity. Sets of the physical objects can have different sizes and shapes and, in some examples, include identically constructed three-dimensional gripping features.

Switching technology may be incorporated into various systems, components, and/or architectures in a fiber optic network to promote network reconfigurability and design flexibility. A signal access unit comprises an input, an output, an access port, a switch arrangement including a switch, and a controller. The switch optically couples the input to the output and not to the access port when in a first configuration, and optically couples the access port to at least one of the input and the output without optically coupling the input and the output together when in a second configuration. The controller is configured to receive an indication of a selected wavelength and to operate the switch arrangement to change the switch between the first and second configurations based on the indication of the selected wavelength.
