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