Example systems and methods may provide for a heterogeneous fleet of robotic devices for collaborative object processing in an environment, such as a warehouse. An example system includes a plurality of mobile robotic devices configured to transport one or more objects within an environment, a fixed robotic manipulator positioned within the environment that is configured to manipulate one or more objects within an area of reach of the fixed robotic manipulator, and a control system. The control system may be configured to cause one or more of the plurality of mobile robotic devices to deliver at least one object to at least one location within the area of reach of the fixed robotic manipulator, and to cause the fixed robotic manipulator to distribute the at least one object to a different one or more of the plurality of mobile robotic devices for delivery to one or more other locations within the environment.
