Claim 19:
20. A method for providing multiple single-sided clamp-ups, the method comprising:
establishing a two-sided clamp-up to clamp at least two parts together at a first fastener installation point using a first robotic device at a first side of a joint to be formed by the at least two parts and a second robotic device at a second side of the joint;
converting the two-sided clamp-up at the first fastener installation point to a single-sided clamp-up to clamp the at least two parts together using the first robotic device;
moving the second robotic device along the second side of the joint to a second fastener installation point, while maintaining the single-sided clamp-up at the first fastener installation point; and
moving a third robotic device along the second side of the joint to the first fastener installation point, while maintaining the single-sided clamp-up at the first fastener installation point.
