It’s where the ball crosses the plate. So the strike zone is a rectangle.

The interesting part is how does the robo-ump adjust to the height of the hitter and the batting stance?

Not true! The strike zone is three dimensional. It includes the depth of home plate, as well as the width of home plate.

So the zone is a plane? I would think, since the plate is static, the strike zone is as well, so it is up to the batter to adjust as needed, not the bot.
