Automated radar assembly system

An automated assembly system, comprising:

• a first robotic device coupled to a cradle, the first robotic device having a first working envelope;
• a second robotic device mechanically coupled to the first robotic device via the cradle, the second robotic device having a second working envelope that is smaller than the first working envelope;
• a controller operatively coupled to the first robotic device and the second robotic device the controller being configured to:
• receive a user input requesting a part to be installed in a structure under assembly,
• cause the first robotic device to position the second robotic device at a first location relative to the structure under assembly, and
• cause the second robotic device to install the part at a second location in the structure under assembly,
• wherein the first robotic device includes a first 6-axis robot and the second robotic device includes a second 6-axis robot.

• receive a user input requesting a part to be installed in a structure under assembly;
• identify a first location where the second robotic device has to be positioned in order for the second robotic device to be able to install the part in the structure under assembly;
• identify a second location in the structure under assembly where the part is to be installed;
• transmit, to the first robotic device, a first command, the first command instructing the first robotic device to position the second robotic device at the first location;
• receive a confirmation from the first robotic device indicating that the second robotic device has been positioned at the first location;
• and
• transmit a second command to the second robotic device, the second command instructing the second robotic device to install the part at the second location in the structure under assembly,
• wherein the first robotic device includes a first 6-axis robot and the second robotic device includes a second 6-axis robot.
