1. An integrated robot measurement system comprising:

  • a facility defined work zone comprising a physical area within a facility;

    first and second omni-directional ground vehicles configured to move within the facility defined work zone to a setup calibration station and an engineering defined work space, the first and second omni-directional ground vehicles each configured to support a portion of a structure thereon;

    first and second multi-axis robot removably coupled to the first and second omni-directional ground vehicles, respectively, and configured to move first and second laser scanners, respectively, when the first and second laser scanners are positioned at the setup calibration station or the engineering defined work space, the first and second laser scanners of the first and second multi-axis robots configured to move in at least two linear directions and one rotational direction; and

    a processor configured to automatically generate a surface ready output file from measurement data received from the first and second laser scanners to define coordinate systems for the movement of the first and second omni-directional ground vehicles to move into position for joining the portions of the structures, the surface ready output file defining one or more of a surface, hole or feature.
