Zusammenfassung:	A system and method for a self-contained self-calibrating modular manufacturing device having modular tools and parts configured to collectively accomplish a specific task or function. The modular device includes a housing that has a mount configured to engage a robotic arm or other form of maneuvering actuator (such a crane or gantry). The housing provides a base by which additional modules are mounted and coupled. The modular device also includes an interface configured to communicate with a remote control system capable of controlling the robotic arm. Such modules work in conjunction with each other to accomplish tasks and functions. In a self-contained self-calibrating modular manufacturing device, a processor disposed in the housing is configured to control the functional tools (e.g., each end-effector) independent of the overall manufacturing control system as well as use local sensors to determine aspects of an underlying manufactured items for calibration purposes.
