Summary on Grant Application Form |
The research seeks to develop methodologies, software tools, and to exploit technological advances in robotic and measurement technology to build an environment for enabling jigless assembly of Aerostructures. The work involves definition of the role of tooling within the assembly environment and the inter-relationships between product design, manufacture and assembly characteristics. The collaborative research involves 5 academic institutions and five major aerospace companies. A common demonstrator will be used for validating the research results.
