摘要： A robotic fastening system is operative to autonomously fasten a first subassembly to a second subassembly at a plurality of fastening sites. A set of actuators arranged to move a fastening tool to the various ones of the fastening sites. A proximity sensor is fixed proximate the fastening tool and movable with the fastening tool. A controller circuit is operative to individually control each of the set of actuators and to read an output of the proximity sensor, where the controller circuit is programmed to execute a fastening-tool movement routine to move the fastening tool to a first one of the fastening sites.
