Abstract
A manufacturing system includes a first autonomous mobile robot (AMR), a second AMR, a first set of mobile robotic systems, and a central management system. The first AMR transports a body of a vehicle to an assembly area. The second AMR transports a chassis of the vehicle to the assembly area. The first set of mobile robotic systems is provided at the assembly area and moves the body. The central management system includes instructions to direct the first AMR transporting the body to the assembly area; direct the second AMR transporting the chassis to the assembly area; have the first set of mobile robotic systems lift the body from the first AMR; direct the first AMR to a secondary area; direct the second AMR to move to a desired position relative to the body; and instruct the first set of mobile robotic systems place the body on the chassis.
