Claim 11:
12. A method of securing a heater element to a mirror comprising:
providing:
a first robotic arm and a second robotic arm, each having a plurality of axes of rotation;
one or more position cameras;
a controller in communication with the first robotic arm and a second robotic arm to control displacement and articulation using at least in part, position data received from the one or more position cameras; and
a mirror gripper positioned at a first end of the robotic arm;

articulating the first robotic arm to a first position with the mirror gripper on a mirror having a mirror front surface and a mirror back surface;
applying a vacuum force to secure the mirror front surface to the mirror gripper;
articulating the first robotic arm to a second position;
coupling a heater element, having a heater front surface and a heater back surface, to the second robotic arm;
articulating the second robotic arm until the heater front surface at least partially engages the mirror back surface allowing the heater element to be moved coincident with the mirror;
providing an air sheet of forceful air; and
articulating the first robotic arm to pass the mirror and heater element progressively through the air sheet to apply a flow of forceful air along the heater back surface to laminate the heater front surface to the mirror back surface.
