A robotic printing system for an exterior surface of an aircraft includes a robotic printer, the robotic printer having a body and a plurality of vacuum suction cups mounted to the body for attaching the robotic printer to the exterior surface of the aircraft, where the plurality of vacuum suction cups are configured to move the robotic printer along the exterior surface of the aircraft. The robotic printer also includes a printing head mounted to the body, where the printing head is positioned to apply a print medium to the exterior surface of the aircraft. The robotic printer also includes a laser-based positioning device mounted to the body for determining a position of the robotic printer on the exterior surface of the aircraft.

    Un système dimpression robotique pour une surface extérieure dun aéronef comprend une imprimante robotique ayant un corps et une pluralité de ventouses montées sur le corps afin de raccorder limprimante robotique à la surface extérieure de laéronef, la pluralité de ventouses étant configurées pour déplacer limprimante robotique le long de la surface extérieure de laéronef. Limprimante robotique comprend également une tête dimpression montée sur le corps et positionnée pour appliquer un support dimpression à la surface extérieure de laéronef. Limprimante robotique comprend également un dispositif de positionnement à base de laser monté au corps pour la détermination dune position de limprimante robotique sur la surface extérieure de laéronef.
