Abstract: A system of automatic drilling/riveting of pieces for aeronautical assembly, includes a robot governed by a numerical control device containing drilling/riveting information. A module allows for introduction of data by the operator. A piece checking module detects a piece starting from the data input by the operator. A converter module receives from the numerical control device the information input by the operator and information on the detected piece along with the drilling/riveting to be done and converts that information into information that can be read by a governing and graphic representation module, which transforms the information into geometric information to permit graphic representation on a screen.

Abstract: The robot comprises a chassis (1) with a first set of legs (2a, 2b) with suction pads (6) on tilting supports (7) mounted in a linearly displaceable manner with regard to the chassis and a second set of legs (4) with suction pads (17) mounted in a rotary manner with regard to the chassis. Certain control means are adapted in order to control the functioning of said first and second sets of legs in a coordinated manner for displacing the chassis in any direction on the work surface (S). It includes support feet (9) and a system for leveling the chassis in relation to a curvature of the work surface. Fitted on the chassis is a work unit (44) with a head (19) for working on the work surface via an opening (12) in the chassis. It includes means for displacing said head along three axes and pivoting the head on two axes with respect to the chassis.
