Claim 0:
1. A method for robotic inspection of a part, comprising the steps of:
supporting the part with a robot mechanism;
obtaining part-related sensor input with a sensor positioned to inspect the part supported by the robot mechanism to produce an initial inspection result;
controlling movement of the robot mechanism relative to the sensor, wherein the controlling is done by a feedback control unit which receives the sensor input, and the feedback control unit is configured to control the robot mechanism based upon the initial inspection result produced from the part-related sensor input to position the robot mechanism at an adjusted position relative to the sensor;
illuminating the part with an illumination mechanism, and wherein the feedback control unit is configured to control the illumination mechanism based on the initial inspection result produced from the part-related sensor input to provide an adjusted lighting of the part; and
obtaining further part-related sensor input with the sensor at the adjusted position and the adjusted lighting to produce an adjusted inspection result.
