Short summary
This study proposes a novel dual-robot system controlled by a primary–secondary strategy for accurately aligning large, flexible aircraft parts in tight spaces. The primary robot ensures precise positioning, while the secondary robot actively senses and cancels out harmful internal forces, preventing part deformation. Our simulated results show that this method achieves high alignment accuracy and reduces internal forces by over 90.03 %, offering a safe and efficient automated solution for aircraft assembly.
