Abstract

A method of mating a first part (18) to a second part (16) is disclosed using an automated robot (10) having a gripper (14). The method includes positioning the first part (18) on a partially constraining fixture (20). A second part (16) is grasped with the robot gripper (14). The second part (16) is moved into contact with the first part (18) using the robot (10), causing the first part to slide on the partially constraining fixture (20) to bring the first part (18) into alignment with the second part (16). The first part (18) is then mated to the second part (16).
