Patent ID: 11897136
Assignee: GRAYMATTER ROBOTICS INC.
Field: Handling (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B

Claim 6:
7. The system of claim 1:
wherein the robotic system further comprises a torque sensor:
coupled to the sanding head; and
configured to output signals representing a sequence of torque values between the sanding pad and local areas of the part in contact with the sanding pad;

wherein the controller is further configured to define a set of target sanding torques across the part, the set of target sanding torques proportional to radii of local surface contours represented in the part model; and
wherein the robotic system is further configured to modulate a sanding pad speed of the sanding head to align the sequence of torque values to the set of target sanding torques while traversing the sanding head along the toolpath.
