1. An apparatus comprising:
a first robotic arm;
a second robotic arm;
a first structure;
a second structure; and
a processor communicatively connected with a memory and configured to:
cause the first robotic arm to engage with the first structure,
cause the second robotic arm to engage with the second structure,
direct the first robotic arm and the second robotic arm to move the first structure, without a fixture retaining the first structure, and the second structure, without a fixture retaining the second structure, such that a protrusion of the first structure or an opening of the second structure is brought within a joining proximity wherein the first structure and the second structure do not contact, and
cause a first adhesive to join the first structure and the second structure at the protrusion or the opening, wherein the first structure is joined to the second structure with the first adhesive.
