Zusammenfassung:A method for assembling parts in an assembly line, such as an automotive final assembly line, is disclosed. A part having a target area at which an assembly operation is to be performed is advanced along the line. While the part is advancing, the assembly operation is performed with an industrial robot provided with an end effector. The assembly operation comprises, at least, a visual servoing process in which the movement of the robot is controlled in real time based on the readings of a real time vision system monitoring the position of the target area, and a compliant behaviour process in which the movement of the robot is controlled to allow compliant behaviour of the end effector in at least one direction. An assembly unit is also disclosed, as well as an assembly line provided with such a unit.
