Humanoid robots to manufacture planes

Humanoid robots that can carry out difficult tasks during plane manufacturing are being developed by Airbus and the Joint Robotics laboratory. 

Using humanoids on aircraft assembly lines will make it possible to relieve human operators of the most laborious and dangerous tasks, thus allowing them to concentrate on more valuable tasks that cannot be carried out by machines. 

The four year project will attempt to research and develop solutions for a number of issues around using humanoid robots in manufacturing. 

One of the most prominent difficulties for these robots will be to work in a confined environment and move without colliding with the numerous surrounding objects.
