Abstract :
A flexible robotic work cell for the assembly of airframe components is described. The key cell devices are two robots, a flexible fixture, a metrology system, an automatic fastening machine, and several end effectors. Software modules are found behind all cell devices. Other software components are found in the cell controller, planning utilities, and offline programming. The emphasis is on functional aspects of the cell and the associated software
