Abstract: One example non-limiting example provides a full representative part 25 commercial aircraft flight deck with a visual system integrated with a robotic manipulator to provide an immersive simulation environment for training and research purposes. Such technology provides an architecture that provides visual blending-warp adjustment along with visual system integration, including for example Spherical screen design, Structural design and Projectors allocation.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a mobile robotic system capable of carrying out the movement, manipulation and precise installation of industrial loads (pipes, plates, equipment, parts, materials, etc.), using a single operator for that and presenting ease of use. The invention is basically composed of an anthropomorphic-type industrial robot (3) and a crawler mobile platform (11). The load capacity of the invention is limited by the maximum load capacity of the industrial robot employed. The precise positioning step has a special force amplification system (external exoskeleton) capable of moving a load fixed on the industrial robot wrist (position and orientation) with the force actions of an operator, directly on the robot wrist, or by means of a security extension. The robotic system can be controlled by radio control, capable of allowing both the control of the robot and the movement of the platform.

Abstract: A process for joining parts together is provided by positioning and temporarily clamping parts to be joined together. A number (n) of pilot holes may then be drilled through the temporarily clamped parts (e.g., by means of Cleco fasteners), wherein the number (n) of pilot holes is less than a total number (N) of holes required to be drilled to allow the parts to be joined together by permanent fasteners and to receive temporary fasteners therein. A remaining number (?) of holes to achieve the total number (N) of holes required for the parts to be joined together by permanent fasteners may thereafter be drilled so that permanent fasteners may be installed both, by automated system, in the number (n) of pilot holes and the remaining number (?) of holes that have been drilled to thereby permanently join the parts together.

Abstract: Automated positioning and alignment methods and systems for aircraft structures use anthropomorphous robots with six degrees of freedom to carry the aero structure parts during the positioning and alignment. The parts and structures (if any) supporting the parts are treated as robot tools.
