Abstract
A method that can include receiving a three-dimensional (3D) model of the vehicle at a control system, positioning the vehicle within a 3D ground operational space, manipulating a robotic arm to position a sensor at a predetermined distance from a reference location of the vehicle, measuring, via the sensor, a distance from the sensor to the reference location, determining a relative position of the reference location based on a known relative position of the sensor in the 3D ground operational space and the measured distance, establishing an orientation of the 3D model in a virtual 3D space based on the relative position of the reference location, and manipulating the robotic arm to perform a ground operation on the vehicle based on the position of the 3D model in the virtual 3D space.
