Abstract
Object-shifting mechanisms, control systems for object-shifting mechanisms, and methods of manufacturing, assembling, and using the same. The object-shifting mechanism can include a base, a frame, at least one pickup device, at least one actuator, and a control system that is used to control operation of different components of the object-shifting mechanism and/or associated systems. In addition, methods of using a object-shifting mechanism to engage, shift, position, and release a component during an assembly and installation process are also disclosed. In addition, methods of manufacturing, configuring, and integrating object-shifting including in different manufacturing operations are also disclosed.
