A robotic post system includes one or more robotic posts having a processor and a memory. The robotic posts may include a manipulation arm and/or a swiveling and/or otherwise moveable trunk and/or base. Sensors provided on the robotic post enable the robotic post to rotate, tilt or move toward another robotic post to orient and secure a lockable band on one post with a lock on another post. A manipulation arm may grasp a lockable band and attach it to a lock, and either post may move away from the other to extend the length of a guide path.
