Drip feeding would be very loose > synchronization, if that's ok then there are a lot of options I'm pretty sure that the MEL at NIST did some work in building work centers with machine tools and robots to load/unload workpieces. I thought I saw some pics of those a long time ago. There is a guy doing a pick and place machine with something like drip feeding. He moves the part over a camera, then extracts correction info from the image and then sends altered G-code so the machine will plant the component with correct offset and rotation. So, he is doing very small G-code files of just a couple lines at a time. This was just reported with a video within the last 2 weeks.
