Describes the benefits of using robots for advanced composite lay‐up procedures. Particular emphasis is on aerospace structures. Argues that the use of robots now makes viable many fabrication operations that were previously too expensive, and highlights the improved quality afforded by consistent and rapid, automated lay‐up procedures.
