    Artificial Intelligence with robots on the new assembly line,you think?

    We present a system in which a flexible team of robots coordinates to assemble large, complex, and diverse structures autonomously. Our system operates across a wide range of spatial scales and tolerances, using a hierarchical perception architecture. For the successful execution of very precise assembly operations under initial uncertainty, our system starts with high-field of view but low accuracy sensors, and gradually uses low field-of-view but high accuracy sensors. Our system also uses a failure detection and recovery system, integrated with this hierarchical perception architecture: upon losing track of a feature, our system retracts to using high-field of view systems to re-localize. Additionally, we contribute manipulation skills and tools necessary to assemble large structures with high precision. First, the team of robots coordinates to transport large assembly parts which are too heavy for a single robot to carry. Second, we develop a new tool which is capable of co-localizing holes and fasteners for robust insertion and fastening. We present real robot experiments where we measure the contribution of the hierarchical perception and failure recovery approach to the robustness of our system. We also present an extensive set of experiments where our robots successfully insert all 80 of the attempted fastener insertion operations.

    From what I have read most of them will be early retirement attrition losses, Boeing certainly isn't hurting for money.

    Efficiency new economy and all that.
    Why don't we go to school and work on the weekends and take the week off!

    My sister works for Boeing, she currently works from home in Colorado Springs and travels to Kansas and Washington tonce a month for up dates on the Work implemented.

    She actually quit back 12 years ago and sold her stock options and built a nice home.
    They contacted her after her move and wanted her to come back, she said only if I can work from home in Colorado. They we glad to have her back.

    She worked on Air Force One back in the day and is currently working on Military applications for ........ Opp's Can't say that here.
    She has a contract thru 2020.

    My buddy is on that list[V] He worked for them for 18 years, left and then went back about six years ago. They actually called him to come back after he left to start his own business. He is now moving to somewhere near Fort Worth, to run the quarter horse hall of fame, which he is a member of. His name is Mike Kelly. Oakie
