Abstract

An automated motorized device may be configured to move on a structure for use in assembling of the structure. The automated motorized device may comprise an end effector configured to perform a plurality of assembling related functions; a first movement assembly, comprising a first plurality of dual function movement components; a second movement assembly, comprising a second plurality of dual function movement components; and a pivoting component connected concentrically to the end effector, and to at least one of the first movement assembly and the second movement assembly. Functions of each dual function movement component may comprise adhering and gliding; and during movement of the automated motorized device, one of the first movement assembly and the second movement assembly is secured to the structure while the other one of the first movement assembly and the second movement assembly moves over the structure.

Description

technical field [0001] Certain embodiments of the present disclosure relate to manufacturing and, more particularly, to component assembly during aircraft manufacturing. More specifically, certain embodiments of the present disclosure relate to apparatus and methods for autonomous crawling / autonomous crawling assembly systems. Background technique [0002] Manufacturers, including, for example, aircraft manufacturers, are under constant pressure to reduce costs associated with manufacturing processes and / or increase the efficiency of manufacturing processes. In this regard, manufacturing a specific item (eg, an aircraft) may require performing various steps to produce a complete instance of the item. The type of steps taken in the manufacturing process may be determined by the item itself (eg, number, size, and / or shape of components) and / or by other conditions related to the manufacturing process (eg, independent production of components of the item). For example, manufac...
