Sensors (212), e.g. force, speed, position, shape, optical/camera, etc. generate sensor data relating to the production process. For example, a model of the production site (26) may provide a civil engineer's conception of how the concrete piles and other construction materials can be combined to build the desired bridge. A control system (218) stores specifications for the production process based on a model of the production site and/or the at least one object. The control system: receives the sensor data; determines properties of at least one of the production site or object; determines differences between the properties and the model; determines adjustments to the production process based on the differences; and sends instructions for the end-effectors for combining the objects and the structures based on the specifications and the adjustments to the production process.
