Abstract: Robotic equipment has many advantages, such as high level of automation, good movement flexibility, high positioning accuracy, and flexible production layout. Besides, it has a wide range of applications in the assembly process of aviation products. This paper summarizes the application status of robotic equipment in the automated assembly of aerospace products from the automatic docking equipment for large parts, robot assembly theory, human-machine collaboration technology, aero engine automatic assembly systems, artificial intelligence auxiliary systems and AGV. On this basis, this paper analyzes the evolution process and development trend of mechanism configuration in docking assembly equipment in detail, and systematically compares the technological gap between domestic and foreign aviation industry in the field of automatic assembly from the aspects of application scenarios, technology maturity and equipment performance. Finally, this paper summarizes the technical challenges and development trends of robotic equipment in aviation assembly, as well as the development opportunities that integrate with emerging technologies such as Industry 4.0 and intelligent manufacturing.
