    Abstract: A system includes a robotic device, a tool rack, a network access point, a message router, and a first tool. The tool rack includes a tool holster that provides for removable coupling of tools to the tool rack and a wireless tag that indicates a wireless network identifier of the tool rack. The network access point generates a wireless network based on the wireless network identifier. The message router communicatively connects, by way of the wireless network, the robotic device to the tools. The first tool is operable by a manipulator of the robotic device and includes an adapter configured to removably couple to the tool holster, a wireless tag reader that scans the wireless tag when the first tool is coupled to the tool holster, and a processor that connects to the wireless network and communicates with the robotic device by way of the message router.
