Abstract
Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“The use of mobile robot platforms for processing aircraft str uctural components is already known. Withthese aircraft structural components, a robot is generally arranged on a platform. The platform can thenbe moved to v arious processing stations and the robot can process an aircraft structural comp onentsection by section at said stations. Some mobile robot platforms also have a height adjustment unit withwhich the robot can be adjusted vertically in ord er to increase its working range.
