Methods and systems for connection-driven generation of robotic user interfaces and modification of robotic properties include detecting a connection of a robotic peripheral to a robot; obtaining a peripheral property set corresponding to the robotic peripheral, wherein the peripheral property set includes one or more properties of the robotic peripheral; modifying, based on the peripheral property set, a robotic property set that includes one or more properties of the robot to provide a modified robotic property set; generating, during runtime, a robotic graphical user interface (“RGUI”) dynamically based on the peripheral property set, wherein the RGUI provides at least one user-accessible interface to control the robot and the robotic peripheral; and controlling, based on the modified robotic property set, the robot and the robotic peripheral in response to user input received via the RGUI.
