Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: identifying a path over a surface of an object using numerical control data that was used to create a number of surface features created by a number of operations performed on the surface of the object; performing a first type of operation on the number of surface features on the surface of the object using a first end effector by guiding the first end effector along the path; generating feedback laser data about the number of surface features after the first type of operation has been performed using a laser device; and performing a second type of operation on the number of surface features using a second end effector and the feedback laser data, by guiding the second end effector along the path to rework the number of surface features until the number of surface features has been reworked to within selected tolerances; wherein performing the first type of operation comprises dulling a reflective finish of a surface feature in the number of surface features using a dulling tool to allow the laser device to measure the surface feature and generate the feedback laser data.
