Summary:A transfer robot assembly arranged within an ATV transfer module includes a transfer robot that includes an end effector and one or more arm segments connected between the end effector and a transfer robot platform. A first robot alignment arm is connected to the transfer robot platform. A second robot alignment arm is connected to the first robot alignment arm and to a mounting chassis of the ATV transfer module. The transfer robot assembly is configured to actuate the first robot alignment arm and the second robot alignment arm to raise and lower the transfer robot to adjust a position of the transfer robot in a vertical direction and in a horizontal direction. The transfer robot is configured to fold into a folded configuration having a narrow profile occupying less than 50% of an overall depth of the ATV transfer module.
