1. A robotic machine assembly comprising: a movable robotic arm configured to perform an assigned task that involves moving toward, engaging, and manipulating a target object of a vehicle; a communication circuit configured to receive manipulation parameters for the target object from a remote database, the manipulation parameters being specific to at least one of the vehicle or a vehicle class in which the vehicle belongs; and one or more processors communicatively coupled to the communication circuit and the robotic arm, the one or more processors configured to generate a task performance plan for the robotic arm based on the manipulation parameters, the task performance plan including prescribed forces to be exerted by the robotic arm on the target object to manipulate the target object, the one or more processors further configured to drive movement of the robotic arm during performance of the assigned task according to the task performance plan.
