Independent Radius for each robot

This is a precursor to robots being aware of their configuration. Currently, we cannot blend tray sizes or robot form factors onsite. The issue will come about when we try to blend R1.5 and R2 bots at sites (R2 should technically be more compact) and even more so when WayPoint bots are looped in.

Problem/opportunity trying to be solved

Currently, we cannot blend tray sizes or robot form factors onsite. When we move to integration of Waypoint bots with ours this will be required but there are additional instances where individually configuring a specific bot radius would be useful for managing varying tray sizes. Not being able to config bot radius leads clients to have to configure for the largest radius size which is most often not efficient or appropriate based on site layout.

Quantify the problem/opportunity

Many clients require varying tray sizes on their bots to manage picking across all inventory efficiently.

What is the root cause of the problem/opportunity

Lack of flexibility with defining individual bot radius - limits the most efficient configurations for picking.
