Methods and systems are provided for assembling components, such as for manufacturing a vehicle. An exemplary method includes grasping components with an assembly robot and determining an identification, position, and orientation of each component with a visual robot. Further, the method includes determining position adjustments and/or orientation adjustments required to align the components for joining based on the position and orientation of each component. The method further includes instructing the respective assembly robots to move the respective components to align the components for joining based on the position adjustments and/or the orientation adjustments. The method further includes fastening the components to each other with a fastening robot to form a joined component. 提供了用于组装部件、诸如用于制造运载工具的方法和系统。示例性方法包括用组装机器人抓取部件，并用视觉机器人确定每个部件的标识、位置和取向。进一步地，该方法包括基于每个部件的位置和取向，确定对齐部件以用于连结所需的位置调整和/或取向调整。该方法还包括基于位置调整和/或取向调整，指示相应的组装机器人移动相应的部件，以对齐部件以用于连结。该方法还包括用紧固机器人将部件彼此紧固以形成连结部件。
