US 2026/0264238 A1 · MEASUREMENT-BASED CORRECTIONS FOR STRUCTURE ASSEMBLY

Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for robotic joining of components, parts, and structures are disclosed. A method in accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure comprises determining a target first position and a target second position in a reference frame, controlling robotic arms to move a first part to the target first position and a second part to the target second position, measuring the parts at the target first and second positions to obtain a measured first and second positions, performing a first operation to determine differences between the measured positions and the target positions, and when the differences exceeds desired tolerances, controlling the robotic arms to move the parts to compensate for the differences, and controlling at least the first or second robotic arm to join the first and second parts after the first and second operations are concluded.

Dependent claims

A method for joining structures, wherein a first robotic arm retains a first structure at a target first position and a second robotic arm retains a second structure at a target second position, the method comprising:

measuring one or more of the first structure at the target first position to obtain a measured first position or the second structure at the target second position to obtain a measured second position;
determining a difference between one or more of the measured first position and the target first position or the measured second position and the target second position;
determining whether the difference exceeds a tolerance, and if the difference exceeds the tolerance, controlling one or more of the first robotic arm to move the first structure to compensate for the difference or the second robotic arm to move the second structure to compensate for the difference;
and
joining the first and second structures such that the first and second structures are joined without contact.
