  • Publication number: 20250236019
    Abstract: An autonomous mobile factory includes: a container; bins arranged within the container and configured to store parts associated with an installation structure; a robotic assembly; and a controller. The controller is configured to: access an instruction associated with assembly of the installation structure; select a part specified in the instruction; identify a bin containing the part; define an assembly toolpath for maneuvering the part from the bin to the assembly station; and derive a grasp pose, aligning the part with the assembly toolpath, for retrieving the part from the bin. The controller is further configured to, via the robotic assembly: trigger a robotic arm to retrieve the part from the bin in the grasp pose; maneuver the robotic arm according to the assembly toolpath to locate the part at the assembly station in the grasp pose; and couple the part to a second part at the assembly station.

  • Publication number: 20250128928
    Abstract: A method including, at an autonomous vehicle: autonomously navigating across an outdoor terrain to locate a robotic arm and a set of objects proximal an install location; accessing an image from an optical sensor; detecting a set of install features at the install location based on the image; calculating a gross install pose of the object that locates an object proximal the install location and offset from the set of install features; defining a keep-in boundary proximal the install location and encompassing the gross install pose; autonomously navigating the robotic arm to retrieve the object from the set of objects and to locate the object in the gross install pose; detecting a series of forces applied to a distal end of the robotic arm; and navigating the object in directions of the series of forces while maintaining the object fully within the keep-in boundary.
