36. Robot-Ready Assembly Baseline
Stable section ID: S05-CON-016-SECTION-38 · 19 content blocks
The Minimum Viable System shall be robot-ready even when Robots are not required for initial construction.
Robot-ready design shall address:
stable datum systems;
machine-readable identities;
predictable Component orientations;
grasping and lifting zones;
tool approach and clearance;
self-alignment features;
controlled insertion and locking paths;
observable connection states;
force and tolerance limits;
collision and exclusion zones;
error detection and recovery;
safe human–Robot interaction.
Assembly states shall be represented in a form that can be interpreted by future robotic planning and control systems.
Interfaces should reduce the need for highly variable manual operations, uncontrolled field cutting, hidden fastening, or irreversible correction.
Robot readiness does not establish robotic capability. A Robot shall still require task-specific Validation, tooling, perception, safety controls, and operational approval.
The initial implementation may use human workers to perform every assembly operation while recording the geometry, forces, time, access, and errors relevant to future automation.
No Robot shall be allowed to alter a safety-critical configuration solely because the physical action is mechanically possible.
