Abstract: A method of assembling an apparatus. The method includes configuring a robotic device to operate in a first mode of a plurality of modes, wherein the robotic device is positionable to inspect a predetermined feature on a first component when in the first mode. The method also includes determining an expected value for a measurable parameter of the predetermined feature when inspected by the robotic device, wherein the expected value is determined based on which of the plurality of modes the robotic device is operating. The method further includes directing the robotic device to inspect the first component to determine an actual value for the measurable parameter, and verifying an identity of the first component based on a comparison between the expected value and the actual value.
