Abstract
Systems and techniques are described for improving inspections of autonomous vehicles by utilizing a robotic arm with a modular hub that is configured to receive a plurality of peripherals for inspecting the autonomous vehicle. An example system can use a controller; a robotic arm; and a modular hub coupled to an end of the robotic arm to inspect an autonomous vehicle. The modular hub can include a plurality of ports for receiving a plurality of peripherals. Each port of the plurality of ports can be addressable, and each peripheral can be individually identified and controlled by the controller. In some cases, the system can include multiple modular hubs, with each modular hub configured to receive one or more peripherals for inspecting autonomous vehicles.
