Abstract:
A method for assembling a component to a structure includes determining, by a controller, a location on the structure for a placement of the component onto the structure. The method further includes activating, by the controller, a light source to project a visual indicator onto the location. The method also includes actuating, by the controller, a robotic implement to locate and position the component at the location based on the visual indicator projected onto the location.
