Zusammenfassung:	A method and apparatus for performing an operation (111) on a surface (116) of a structure (106). An assembly system (102) may comprise a motion platform (122) and a mobile platform (118). The motion platform (122) may be configured to be positioned below the surface (116) of the structure (106) to perform the operation (111) on the surface (116). The mobile platform (118) may be configured to carry the motion platform (122) across a floor (107) of a manufacturing environment (100) from a first location (117) to a second location (121).
