1. A system for scripting language for design and operation of a robotic storage and retrieval system in a warehouse, said system comprising:

  • processor and memory operable to provide;

    a scripting language framework for directed operation of a control system of said robotic storage and retrieval system, said scripting language framework providing a shelving descriptor and a robot descriptor;

    said shelving descriptor operable to model a shelving to be deployed in said warehouse, said shelving descriptor further having associated shelving attributes defining properties of said shelving descriptor;

    said robot descriptor operable to model a robot to be deployed in said warehouse, said robot descriptor further having associated robot attributes defining properties of said robot descriptor;

    a scripting editor comprising a user interface operable to receive input scripting language code conforming to said scripting language framework and based on warehouse metadata;

    a parser operable to interpret or compile said input scripting language code into a runtime system;

    said runtime system configured to issue control operations to a robot in said warehouse and communicatively interposed between said robot and a control system of said robotic storage and retrieval system.
