Abstract

A system for handling electrical components of a vehicle includes a fixture, a vehicle component, a robot, a guiding apparatus and a controller. The fixture includes at least one module having a terminal. The vehicle component is coupled to the fixture and includes an electrical connector. The guiding apparatus is movable between a first position in which the guiding apparatus is disengaged with the module and a second position in which the guiding apparatus is engaged with the module. The guiding apparatus defines an opening that includes a shape that corresponds to the shape of the terminal. The controller is configured to instruct the robot to grasp the electrical connector based on data received, move the guiding apparatus to the second position, and instruct the robot to connect the electrical connector to the terminal. The electrical connector extending through the opening of the guiding apparatus to connect to the terminal.
