Abstract
Techniques for auto-locating and positioning relative to an aircraft are disclosed. An example method can include a robot receiving a multi-dimensional representation of an enclosure that includes a candidate target aircraft. The robot can extract a geometric feature from the multi-dimensional representation associated with the candidate target aircraft. The robot can compare the geometric feature of the candidate target aircraft with a second geometric feature from a reference model of a target aircraft. The robot can determine whether the candidate target aircraft is the target aircraft based on the comparison. The robot can calculate a path from a location of the robot to the target aircraft based on the determination. The robot can traverse the path from the location to the target aircraft based on the calculation.
