Abstract: Retention features are provided for joining at least two structural components in a fixtureless assembly system. A first structure including a groove may be configured to contain at least one adhesive, and a second structure may include a tongue configured to contact the at least one adhesive to join the first and second structures. The first structure may also include at least one window that receives electromagnetic (EM) radiation from an EM radiation source into the groove. The at least one adhesive is configured to cure at a first rate upon exposure to one of time or heating, and the at least one adhesive is configured to cure at a second rate faster than the first rate upon exposure to the EM radiation.

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.
