Abstract

A method and apparatus for performing automated supervision and inspection of an assembly process. The method is implemented using a computer system. Sensor data is generated at an assembly site using a sensor system positioned relative to the assembly site. A three-dimensional global map for the assembly site and an assembly being built at the assembly site is generated using the sensor data. A current stage of an assembly process for building an assembly at the assembly site is identified using the three-dimensional global map. A context for the current stage is identified. A quality report for the assembly is generated based on the three-dimensional global map and the context for the current stage.
