Fastener assembly for use in erecting truss structure assembled by robot equipped with one arm and one gripper. Easier for robot or human technician to build structure in outer space or on Earth. Assembly features extremely large capture envelope; accommodates initial lateral misalignments of truss members of as much as 0.4 in. and rotational misalignments large as 28 degrees and still produces sound structural connection. Chuck key is only tool required.
