Abstract
Presently disclosed robotic alignment systems and methods may allow for alignment of a platform of a robot with respect to an access port of a part, such as a wing of an aircraft. A robot positioned under the wing may include a base and an upper platform coupled together by a plurality of legs. The upper platform may be moveable with respect to the base in six degrees of freedom in order to be aligned with the access port of the wing so that the robot may insert a tool through the access port without damaging the wing. Disclosed robotic alignment systems may include a calibration plate that is inserted into the access port. A number of positioning devices on the upper platform of the robot may interact with the calibration plate in order to align the upper platform with respect to the calibration plate, and thereby with respect to the access port.
