Abstract: A system includes a platform to support a vehicle on a first side of the platform and a passive motion device arranged on a second side of the platform, opposite the first side, to move upon actuation. A mechanical actuator actuates the passive motion device based on movement of one or more wheels of the vehicle to change a position of the vehicle. The position of the vehicle relative to the platform is unchanged and the passive motion device is actuated by only the movement of the one or more wheels of the vehicle to change the position of the vehicle.

Abstract: A partially assembled vehicle that autonomously completes its own assembly, including a chassis, wheels that are rotationally coupled to the chassis, a drive system mounted on the chassis and in operational communication with the wheels, a navigation system, a central platform controller, and a position determining system. Added thereto is a safety sensor guidance system and a controller circuit programmed to begin a temporary takeover of the central platform controller, responsive to an external fleet control. The temporary takeover including the steps of identifying a plurality of assembly stations that the partially assembled vehicle must visit to complete its own assembly; constructing a sequence in which to visit each of the plurality of assembly stations; and commanding the drive system to propel and steer the partially assembled vehicle through the sequence of the plurality of assembly stations, responsive to sensor input from the safety sensor guidance system.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for configuring a plant assembly station at a vehicle manufacturing plant. Plant sensor data generated by a plant sensor system is received at a plant assembly configuration system. The plant sensor data is associated with a configuration of a first plant assembly station at a vehicle manufacturing plant. A digital twin of the first plant assembly station is generated based in part on the plant sensor data. A determination is made regarding whether the configuration of the first plant assembly station is in accordance with operational regulations based on a simulation-based assessment of the digital twin of the first plant assembly station. An operability status of the configuration of the first plant assembly station is generated based on the determination.
