Aviation hole making is one of the important links of aircraft assembly. Aviation drilling robot has become a research hotspot in the field of aviation assembly because of its advantages of high efficiency

low cost and good stability. This review first divides the aviation drilling robots into three kinds

according to the different robot platforms

introduces the research and application status of aviation drilling robots at domestic and abroad

then the key technologies of aviation drilling robot at home and abroad are analyzed from four aspects: structural design

control algorithm

process control

visual calibration and detection

and finally looks forward to the development trend of aviation drilling robots in the future.
