A multiple degree of freedom robotic system is described for the sensor-based, automated remote manipulation and precision docking of large payloads. Computer vision and ultrasonic proximity sensing are used to control the automated precision docking of a large object with a passive target cavity. Real-time sensor processing and model-based analysis are used to control payload position to a precision of (plus minus)0.5 mm. 1 ref., 10 figs. (ERA citation 15:032857)
