1. A system for determining a position of a hole on a workpiece using a working member, the system comprising:
one or more processors;
a camera coupled to at least one of the one or more processors;
a rig, wherein the camera is coupled to the rig, and, with the working member not in contact with the workpiece, at least a portion of the weight of the rig is supported by the workpiece;
one or more actuators configured to move the working member relative to the workpiece; and
one or more memories operatively coupled to the one or more processors and storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:
provide first information that causes at least one of the one or more actuators to plunge at least a portion of the working member into the hole in the workpiece;
capture, using the camera, an image of a first set of features on a surface, wherein the image is captured after providing the first information; and
determine a lateral position of the hole by comparing information associated with the first set of features to information associated with a second set of features on the surface, wherein the information associated with the first set of features is based on the image, the first set of features are included in the second set of features, and the lateral position of the hole is related to positions of the second set of features.
