Abstract: Component manufacturing methods and systems and methods are provided for six degree of freedom control of a component prior to molding. A method involves obtaining measurement data from a measurement device indicative of a measured orientation of a component mounted to a surface of a tool associated with a molding assembly, determining an orientation adjustment based on a relationship between the measured orientation of the component and a reference orientation associated with the molding assembly, determining an actuation command for operating an actuation arrangement coupled to the tool based at least in part on the orientation adjustment, and providing the actuation command to the actuation arrangement to actuate the tool to rotate the surface in accordance with the orientation adjustment prior to forming a molding compound on an exposed surface of the component using the molding assembly.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided that include sensors and a processor of a vehicle that is configured to tow a trailer. The sensors are configured to obtain sensor data pertaining to surroundings of the trailer. The processor is coupled to the sensors, and is configured to at least facilitate retrieving information as to a profile of the trailer, the profile including required clearances for the trailer based on extensions of the trailer that are configured to be retracted while the trailer is moving and fully extended when the trailer is parked and the extensions are utilized; determining whether any obstacles are in a path of the trailer when the extensions are fully extended, based on the sensor data and the profile; and taking an action, in accordance with instructions provided by the processor, when obstacles are in the path of the trailer.
