This article is devoted to the positioning of glued parts by robots in the process of manufacturing automotive headlights, with the possibility of generalization to the mutual positioning of any 3D object. The authors focused on the description of the mathematical method that leads to the optimization of the robot arm setting and ensures the closest contact of the glued parts. The contact surfaces of the two joined parts are, in the ideal case, identical in shape and their optimal alignment is considered to best align the position of the nominal points on the base part with the position of the control (measured) points on the part manipulated by the robot.
