The use case deals with a specific assembly process on large composite structures for military and civil aircrafts that currently are human driven: one operator drills on one side while another operates a vacuum on the opposite side of the fuselage to vacuum the carbon fiber dust that is produced while drilling. Objective: move the vacuum automatically to follow precisely the position of the DRILL in order to vacuum the carbon fiber dust without manual intervention.
